Hello! I got a Medinilla magnifica a month ago. It was already with blooms. There were some spots on some of the leaves already from the nursery, but I noticed that they are getting bigger and spreading inside the leaves. Giving you some info that may help.
The plant was seriously dehydrated in the nursery, I suspect because if they watered it would have died on them, it was so cold in the nursery! So, when I got it home I watered it and all its droopy dehydrated leaves bounced back. It seems to enjoy it here, but what about the leaves with the spots, is she gonna lose them altogether? I keep cutting the dead spots but they are getting more and more of the leaves and I'm afraid of what this could be. No sign of insects, I checked. So far three or four leaves show the same symptom.
It's still in the same pot I got it, no thinking about repotting when in bloom. I have it on some pebbles that I keep watered to increase the humidity, no water touching the bottom. It's standing in front of a north facing window, so she has winter sun which I've read needs. I am showing you both the up side of the leaves and the down side for better evaluation.
Soil is of course the same still. I spray it early in the morning to help with humidity, but never when sun is shining on the leaves.
What is it I am dealing with?
Down side of the leaves, the spots are not watery or mouldy, just dry and kind of "sunken". Soft at first, and as days pass they get dry and cringly.
