disease on compacta

Maybe someone has come across this problem before...i have green compacta with some of the leaves on it getting these black spots sporadically on a couple of the ropes....nothing near the base nor near the ends, basically these spots appear in the middle of the ropes, then finally turning yellow and falling off.. here are 2 pics (front and back) showing a leaf that has already started to turn yellow and has fallen off.....any ideas what the cause is and what i can do to stop it from happening?...i have had this happen on a Krimson princess vine also....

here is the other side of leaf

definitely hoya cooties

I've had that happen to my compacta too, but since none of the other leaves were affected, I just nipped it off and tossed it. I like the "cooties" theory...lol...

It looks like it could be a fungus and getting rid of the leaves is important because it will spread from leaves laying around....

I would give it a good hit of fungicide....like Daconil (comes in a bottle from box stores) or another broad spectrum fungicide....

sure looks "cootyish" to me too!...I will look for some fungicide here....hopefully they have something....i guess i pick the other leaves off, they will turn yellow anyway....thanks guys!
