Some of my phlox have a mildew problem, every year. Others don't. Suggestions re how to deal with it? Or should I just yank out the problem ones?
Mildew hits most type of plants,..even grapes get it,..and it can spread once it gets a grip,..some people dispose of the plant with the mildew. I have many rose bushes,..and from time to time Mildew hits them,..one good old fashioned method is Baking Soda,..it also is hated by insects,..here is a recipe to help you. * 1 tablespoon of baking soda * ½ teaspoon of liquid soap * 1 gallon of water It will rid you of mildew.
Sorry to hear about the mould. I use a mixture of milk and water..ratio 9 parts water to 1 part milk. I spray it weekly until I have a cure. I would not use a greater portion of milk hoping for a quicker fix, as a higher percentage of milk can actually cause a fungus to grow on some plant's leaves. This is something that I have heard, but I have never tried upping the milk to water ratio, so I do not know if that is true.
Ah1 Another treatment to try. Thank you. I like that both of these treatments don't involve chemicals that I don't understand. Thanks.
