I have discovered botrytis on my geranium cuttings in a cold
greenhouse. They were in an unheated frame and probably
suffered from condensation. Can I spray with a fungicide
at this time of the year ?

You can, but cutting away all the effected parts, tidying any dead leaves
etc and keep all vents and doors open except while temps are below 0c will
cure it just as quickly, I also have one of those £10.99 office fans
circulating air so if I have to close up the air is not still.
