This little joker has hated life since I started him from a seed. He did this much growth in the original pot, but has not grown a whit since the spring. Now the leaves are turning brown. I did spray him with baking soda/dish soap/water solution (1 tsp. soda/3 drops soap/1 gal. water) last weekend. He's worse. I've seen camellias get rusty looking spots in the fall, but this doesn't look the same.
