The plant used to be so beautiful, flowering in the spring with purple flowers. Now I'm afraid that there may be no help for it. It looks like tiny little black dots that turn the leaves yellow and crackly and eventually the leaves die. New leaves continue to form and I think that is a good sign, however, I'm noticing that they too have little dots on them. Does anyone know of a product that I can use? It's notable to add that I live in Japan and don't readily have access to a home depot, etc. However I have access to similar stores in Japan, if someone knows what I can do to save my plant. Thanks!

Horticultural sulphur can be used to control many molds and mildews. If you don't want to risk bleach, (very risky), try try sulphur. try to keep it off your skin, wear rubber gloves. This product is buffered, so it won't hurt your plant. This product is very safe. I used it to kill downy mildew and black spot on roses. It worked very well. I purchased some from Lowes hardware. If you don't have a local home improvement store try a local landscaper.

spray it with a mild bleach solution make sure not to get any on the soil it will kill the plant to so be careful also its not a fungus is mold sunlight will kill it eventually if you want to go that way

What you describe sounds like "black spot".
