Grey mold

How to get rid of the fungus

This fungal disease is recognizable as a grey, dusty spot on the plant. The fungal spores are omnipresent. Infection occurs via dead plant parts, usually from weak plants.

Treatment and prevention

Dead plant parts should be removed as a preventative measure. Watering with nettle or horsetail manure can help. Other biological plant protection products are available from specialist retailers (e.g. DIY stores).
