Here is a picture of two of the leaves of my 26 year old Ficus. I cut them off when I saw them.
- There is some blackish/grey discolouration on both leaves.
- On the bottom of the smaller leaf, there are also some yellow crystal-like structures in the same place as the area of discolouration. You can see these in the photo. Maybe aphid honeydew? Not sure.
- When I cut off the leaves, a big droplet of whitish fluid flowed out. I'm presuming this is sap, and nothing to worry about, but I thought I'd mention it.
- I also found one root that had grown out through the hole at the base of the pot, which had a white fur on it.
Do you guys have any ideas about what's going on here? Are these two things (leaves and root) related, or are they separate diseases? How should I go about dealing with them?
