Friends, I wonder if you might be able to help this chestnut sapling.
I put a chestnut in the fridge over the winter, and planted it in a pot on my balcony February. The first week of April, it showed a shoot above the ground. It was growing fast, so we gave it a much bigger pot (about 40 cm deep) with fresh soil in May. It has received good organic compost tea every 3 weeks or so.
About a month ago, it suddenly went from a very healthy sapling to having these yellow spots on the leaves.
We sprayed it thoroughly with safer's soap, but the spots have continued to grow.
We wondered if it was getting too much sun, so we moved it to partial/dappled shade, no change. We've tried watering it less, and also watering it more, no change.
The problem started just before the really bad heat wave here in Austria, so I don’t think it’s connected to the heat, but I could be wrong.
Any tips for keeping it alive?

Hello! I post about plants, movies, spooky stuff (rated PG-13), video games, and liberated(reposted) memes. I boost and favorite quality posts of any nature. Sometimes I will post/boost about anarchism or a good read about current affairs. I am not here to debate however, nor is this a hard political account. 😁

#Mimicry is always a cool #biology topic so this bit of #science news is a treat:
Fake zombies
As if spiders aren't creepy enough, or bug victims of the famous "The Last of Us" zombie #Cordyceps #fungus aren't creepier, we have now discovered a #spider #species which has decided its strategy for survival in this world is to simply *look* like a zombie spider fungus victim. To disgust predators and put prey at ease
It's called Taczanowskia waska
It lives in #Ecuador

#Chernobyl #Fungus Seems to Have #Evolved an Incredible Ability
Clinging to walls of one of most #radioactive buildings on Earth, scientists have found a strange black fungus curiously living its best life.
Fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing #radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. Proposed mechanism is referred to as #radiosynthesis.
