Red Spots on Schefflera: Likely Injury, Not Disease

Tiny red spots on schefflera leaves that don't wash off, aren't raised, and spread slowly are probably physical injury (cold water splash, chemical drift, light change)—not insects or disease. The plant is a schefflera (umbrella tree).

Check

• Are spots sunken (injury) or raised (scale)?
• Any recent sprays, location change, or cold water on leaves?
• Monitor new growth; if clean, issue was transient.

No treatment needed if injury; avoid recurrence.
