Hi @fan12345 , doesnt look fungal to me, looks more like a mite burrowing into the leaves, hit it with something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/eco-organic-garden-500ml-eco-oil-concentrate_p2960092, will do the trick i think.

Hello @fan12345 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's marvellous to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your Lilly Pilly.

 

I suggest having a quick look at this guide - How to diagnose and revive a sick Lilly Pilly by @Noelle. In it you'll find the basic steps you need to take in order to diagnose what's going on with your plant.

 

It looks like the attack on the leaves appear to be uniform in nature. It might be an insect infestation. I suggest using Eco-Organic Garden 500ml Eco-Oil Concentrate as recommended by @wooshka. Please note that it is a concentrate and must be diluted.

 

Let me call on our experienced members @Noelle and @mich1972 for their recommendations.

 

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and an appropriate mask when using the Eco-Oil. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
