My otherwise healthy Poinsettia is growing fluffy white spots on the leaves. What is this and how can I treat it? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanxs

Have you ever seen Meally Bugs? Are the spots raised? If so try to pick one off. Meally bugs tend to be a bit goey.
If the leaves have transparent spots look for insects in the colored bracts or too much sun.

I haven't seen any bugs on the plant. Just the fuzz, which is slightly raised I guess. This stuff when touched is more dusty.

This is the first year I've ever seen mold on my poinsettia. My sister has experienced it for the first time as well. It seems to be a white fuzzy. I have been spritzing mine, but my sister hasn't.The plants started with burnt, blackish areas.

Probably you should have some air circulation to help keep the huimidity down on the plants. If it is the Damp Off mold, it will not form on dry plant material. Try increasing the air flow around your plants.
