What causes kiwi leaves to turn white?

Kiwi leaves can turn white due to a fungal infection, particularly powdery mildew, which thrives in warm, dry conditions. This disease manifests as a white, powdery coating on the leaves, leading to stress and reduced photosynthesis. Additionally, excessive exposure to sunlight or nutrient deficiencies can also cause leaf discoloration. Proper care, including adequate spacing for air circulation and appropriate watering, can help prevent this issue.
