Dhalia
I have a Dhalia (Langstaff) in a pot. Now all the leaves are covered in a
dusty thing....fungus? Is it normal for Dhalias to have this problem? Anyway to prevent it? -- Paulo |

Thanks Tom. Should i cut it now or wait until the first frost? (It looks
awful...) Thanks again -- Paulo "Tom Randy" wrote in message .. . On Mon, 06 Sep 2004 18:06:02 -0400, Paulo wrote: I have a Dhalia (Langstaff) in a pot.

Dhalia and Greggia?
Do you mean Dahlia? Not a good plant to grow in pots because of the tuberous roots. If the leaves have mildew its because the plants have been kept too wet in a humid atmosphere. Give them moving air. "Paulo" wrote in message .. . I have a Dhalia (Langstaff) in a pot. Now all the leaves are covered in a dusty thing....fungus? Is it normal for Dhalias to have this problem?

Greggia?
The plant is in the balcony, a lot of wind there...but we are having a very humid summer. I have to keep it well watered or the leaves look wilted. At the beginning of the summer looks beatiful...but not anymore -- Paulo "Cereus-validus" wrote in message . .. Dhalia and Greggia? Do you mean Dahlia?
