Mandevilla brown spotted leaves


Question
I recently purchased this beautiful flower, and I have noticed that there are brown spots on most of the leaves.  I checked for insects and do not see any.
Any idea what the brown spots are caused from and what I might do to get rid of?

Answer
Annette, sounds like a fungus, spray the plant with a broad spectrum fungicide (ie. Daconil, Funginex); this should stem the spread of the fungus; the new growth will be green, but the infected leaves will simply fall of eventually. Don't fret too much about the leaves already infected, its the new growth you want to see free of any fungus. Nick
