Diseases of ornamental plants
- Mallow rust: The undersides of the leaves are affected with light-colored pustules. Yellowish-brown spots can be seen on the upper side of the leaves. If nothing is done about it, this fungal disease will also spread to stalks and stalks. You have to cut off affected parts of the plant, just water the plant over the ground and choose an airy location so that the leaves can dry off quickly if they get wet. In the fall, you must then cut back the plant completely.
- Grey Mold: This mold forms on onions. During storage, but also when they remain in the ground all year round. Then leaves of daffodils and tulips can wither. Spots can be seen on the flowers. Infested onions should be disposed of with household waste, the onions should only be stored in a dry place and the soil should always be loosened well.
- Aster wilt: Parts of the plant wither, often even the whole plant. First the leaves begin to wilt, then the flowers and finally the rest. The only thing that helps here is to dig up and dispose of the plants so that the rest of the plants don't get infected.
