My south african jasmine has leaves with circular black spots with whitis centers. Why and how to treat?

take a sample to your local garden center so that they can see the actual problem....put the sample in a sealed container...

My south african jasmine has leaves with circular black spots with whitis centers. Why and how to treat?
Sounds like this and they are prone to it;





Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.





Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level.
