Not all plant disease is a death sentence.

Working at a garden centre in the past, I met all sorts of gardeners. Some who weren't really gardeners at all and some who spent a bit too much time inspecting their plants for one sick leaf.

"Should I spray it with something"? they would ask in panic.
"Is that the only leaf with that problem?" I would ask. "Yes, the rest of it looks fine."
"Excellent, then you have probably just fixed it. Don't worry about it."
