thanks socialistpete and space needle! much appreciated! the spotted leaves are on the right hand side of the plant facing the desk fan, about three sets of leaves down from the top...so, just about the middle of the girl...will keep my eye on it...there are only about 6 or 7 leaves that are spotted, and only two of those look like crap so i'll get rid of those two and keep the other 4 and see what happens over the next couple of days...
best
jash
