Gardenia
My gardenia has what I think is called sooty mold on it and I have
sprayed it with a solution of 6oz.dishwashing soap to 1 gallon of water and let it set for 4 min. then sprayed with a high pressure hose to rinse, it helped some but it still has alot of mold on it, any suggestions? |

Gardenia
If you think you have sooty mold, then you most likely have and insect problem.
Aphids and other sucking insects can produce alot of honeydew(poop!) that collects on the leaves. In time, sooty mold will colonize on the poo. Taking care of the insects takes care of the mold. Another thing I should mention is that the honeydew may be dripping down from a larger plant, so inspect all the plants in the general area. Toad |
