Bacterial leaf spot

How to recognise it

Small water-soaked spots turning dark and angular, often with a yellow halo.

What helps

Remove affected leaves, water at the base, keep tools clean, rotate crops.

Often a care issue is behind it (watering, light, placement) – the care check in the app helps narrow it down.
