Miniature Holly Bush

Question

Holly bush has white on leaves. I had a tree taken down, so it was in a lot of shade. Now it gets a lot of sun but these white spots started before that.

Answer 1

Are the spots powdery in nature. If so, it is is powdery mildew and can be treated with neem oil. Here is more info: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/get-the-cure-for-powdery-mildew.htm https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm
