What to do about my spots!

[Jo Old]

My cv. Jennifer is getting spots, it started on one leaf and I removed it and now it's spreading.  This started after I brought the plant inside.
 
Has anyone had this problem and what is the best way to treat it?
 
Thanks

Jo, I have had various spots on many of my hoya leaves, but I can't
say they have looked the same as yours. I don't put my plants outside
for such a short growing season as we have though. Your spots almost
look like bruising, but if they are spreading, maybe they are a
fungus. I always spray any questionable spots or discoloration with
tinactin for athlete's foot, and it works beautifully. I just hold
the can back a bit so the aerosol doesn't get my leaves cold, and
spray the tops and bottoms of the leaves and it seems to stop whatever
spread there is.

Jo, are the spots all the way thru the leaf, showing on the other
side? If not, it may be the same problem I had this year....too much
of something - maybe phosphate, or whichever is the fertilizer
nutrient for blooms....I was fertilizing with the beer mix this
summer, only this year I added the "bloom buster" Peters fertilizer to
the mix. The spots started out just a flat rust color, then
eventually looked something like yours. I hear they don't go away -
once the leaf is damaged, it stays that way. My plant was also
getting very high light, which might have made the spots worse. Not
sure if this is what is going on with you, but if you were fertilizing
heavily, maybe it is.
