Gardenias, ,mold and whiteflies
I've sprayed the gardenias with diluted Palmolive dishwashing detergent
several times and left it on the plant. And I have sprayed it on them to wash it off within ten minutes. But I still have too much mold on the leaves. Does anyone have a better solution to whiteflies and the sooty mold on gardenias |

But I still have too much mold on the leaves. Does anyone have a better solution to whiteflies and the sooty mold on gardenias I bought a bottle called Ferti-Lome systemic fungicide, because my backyard is a low point on my block, and the grass was growing mold after all the rain. It has instructions on it for spraying rosebushes and other shrubs, so it would probably be suitable for the mold on your gardenias. (At least after the de-thatching of the lawn that I did last summer, and treating with some kind of grub-icide, I only had normal amounts of crane flies and junebugs this year, instead of the plagues of them that I had every night last spring.) -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

place chewing tobacco in nylon and boil it...let it cool and add gelatin.
Then fill a spray bottle 1/2 way up and add 1/4 a cup of flea and tick shampoo...rest water. Spray on plant {any plant...hose end sprayer and this is great for keeping bugs out of yard including misquotes that nest in the grass} DON'T WASH OFF!! This will get ride of ALL bugs that want to eat your plants. Also...don't spray on plants you plan on letting butterfly's nest on...cause they won't. As far as mildew...went threw this a week ago...take Bleach {2 spoon full} and put in a spray bottle with water...spray and wipe. Bleach will kill the mold but it won't be strong enough to hurt the plant...and wiping is the only way to get rid of the ugly look! There is a book call plants are like people too that has a bunch of this stuff in it...and it works well. Jerry Baker {the author} even host a show on the radio and channel 8 in some areas. Hope this helps... Lorraine Waller, TX "Louis" wrote in message rthlink.net... I've sprayed the gardenias with diluted Palmolive dishwashing detergent several times and left it on the plant.
