Often the first signs of infection are; Leaves turning brown and falling prematurely, resulting in bare, leafless stems. These stems will show signs of dieback and black markings. On the undersides of the leaves white felt-like coverings may be seen, especially in wet conditions. Spores can be spread from plant to plant, on soils, animals and insects and through water splash.
Now you know what the problem is, and the damage it is doing, don't let your plant suffer.
