    My Clematis Armandii leaves are starting to look like this. It's not the common "going brown in the corners" problem I see online. Does anyone know what's wrong with them? :(

    Thanks, no it's not. They are isolated leaves, but they are new to the plant and there seem to be more and more of them appearing...

    It's rare to see a plant where all the leaves look 100%, if it's just a few I wouldn't worry, but you say it seems to be getting worse. Are there any signs of aphids or sticky deposits on the leaves.

      It wouldn't just be natural leaf drop would it.
      As long as it's just old leaves dying off i wouldn't be very worried.
      Lots of evergreen plants tend to drop old leaves in spring.

          Here it is. I took all the bad leaves out and the plant looks fine right now. I will watch for a few days and maybe previous posters are right and there's nothing to worry about.
