I'm new to the site and new to having anything to do with plants full

plants and 2 of them are very happy but 1 has recently started going
down hill. Its a Raphsody plant and around the base of the plant the
soil has this fine furry white mold type stuff appearing. Also the
leaves are developing a small brown patch/spot at the end of each tip
of the leaf which eventually makes the leaf wilt and die. What am I
doing wrong? Thank you
It's botrytis but so early it's strange but perhaps your plant got too
wet. This occur in very damp conditions. I would take that plant away
from the other and destroy it and make sure the others don't get so
wet. There is no organic cure sadly. Are they in your garden or in pots? |
They're on a big kitchen window sill that gets the sun in the morning but not the afternoon. I have other plants on there like a mini cucumber, is it airbourne? can it spread? How often should I be watering the strawberry plants? Should I let the soil dry before watering again. Thanks for your expertise.
