Hello. I have been growing dragon fruit plants in Rhode Island for the past few months. With the cold weather, they had to be brought inside, and that's when I noticed many red spots on the surface of the plant. I have been able to scrape some of them off with a fingernail, but cannot tell what they are. They seem to be spreading across the plant, but I really have no idea how to stop them. Does anyone have any idea what they could be, and how to get rid of them? Thank you! Austin

This disease is most damaging to plants in the landscape and nurseries during periods of cool, wet weather and when active growth is occurring.
