P.S.

My proteas, especially young ones in the greenhouse, suffer from a
fungal disease that blackens the leaves from the tips back, in spite
of the door, roof and wall ventilators always being open. Even plants
outside get this fungus occasionally, although P.cynaroides seems less
susceptible than others. If not checked, it spreads rapidly and will
kill the plant in a few weeks. After considerable trial and error with
a variety of fungicides, the only effective control I've found is
Dithane 945.
