AusBonsai

Hello everyone, haven't been here in a while, but spring is here again and the bonsais are growing

I have problem with two of my figs, which have misshapen, discolored, dotted leaves, have a look at the picture.

It looks like only the newer leaves have it....Any ideas what might that be? I started fertilizing them a month ago, so its probably not KNP deficiency?
What is it lacking?

Would appreciate your suggestions

Hope everyone is well

Regards

I'm not sure but it does'nt look that serious. In any case, I'm thinking it's probably time for a defoliation anyway judging by the colour / condition and age of those leaves mate. Looks like it may have been scale damage as I think I can still see one on there

Is it supposed to be a benji leaf ? Where do you keep them, what mix are they in, how often do you water and what did you feed them ? Bit hard to know but judging from the colour there seems to but a deficiency of something. Here in Brissy they should be dark green at this time of year. I do have scale problems, but usually the branches can covered in them and they still don't look that bad. My best guess would be they are starving and a bit dry ?

i have to disagree with Tony (sorry) but non-uniform chlorosis (discolouration) is generally not a sign of nutrient deficiency. it looks to me like a pathogen though what sort i cannot be sure without seeing it. if you are interested, i run a plant pathology lab and would be willing to have a look at it if you can express post them to me.
