I havea 1m tall Erythrina Crystagalli, usually kept in a conservatory.Until recently it has looked very healthy, although not flowered, but now most of the leaves are becoming spotted - see photo. Any ideas.
It is well watered and is fed every week.
Some of the lower leaves are turningyellow, which may be seasonal - in the UK.

Thanks, Tugbrethil - you were quite right. I looked (thro' a magnifying glass) and could see the little spiders. Problem solved, thanks again.I'm now feeding it well to help it recover.

Hello, Gray! Sorry this took so long. It definitely looks like spider mites. I would spray it thoroughly with a light solution of organic dish soap, then wash it down with plain water at least once a week afterwards, to keep them from coming back.
