    Hello all! I have another unidentified strange thing going on in my greenhouse. This Den. Micro chip was a recent acquisition but I just noticed this grey, spotted leaf. It doesn't seem to be spreading, there's no film or creatures that I can see. Any ideas what it is?

    Dry? Possibly fungus damage. I'd cut that part out, including some green matter. Then keep it in a drier environment for a while.

    Just my guess, though.

    This looks like sunburn. I wouldn't cut it. The plant has already cauterized the damage and you would open an old wound. It will be unsightly.

    Agree with sunburn diagnosis and treatment.

    It looks like sunburn to me. In fact, I moved one of my plants, and I found the same damage in less than a week.
    Good luck.
