Re: mildew - HELP!


Dave, I would recommend spraying your plants with a soap guard shield, and 
try not to water at night or in the early mornings when temperatures are low, 
for that encourages powdery mildew.  And try not to water over head or you will 
have to reapply often.  In a pinch, I've used Murphy's oil soap. {10% Murphy's 
oil soap / rest water) 
Good luck with your plants
Sincerely,
Karri
