Fungus in fennel?

[Laura84]

Hi!

I have some bronze fennel and I've seen some white spots in the steam and in the leaves. I imagine that it's some kind of fungus but I don't have any idea! -it's the first time I grow fennel

Thank you for your helo and advice

Can you post a picture? It sounds like it could be fungal.

There are some bugs that look fuzzy white and can look like clumps of fungus.

A picture of your whole plant, and a close up of the affected parts would be very helpful.

Your growing conditions would also be helpful.

Sure!

I don't grow fennel that much. Mostly dill. But that looks more like natural waxy coating of the plant?

Someone else with more experience with fennel will know for sure.

[Lindsaylew82]

Yeah, bronze fennel does that, too. Although yours looks a little thick, I agree it's normal.

[Laura84]

So...can it be normal??

[Lindsaylew82]

I think so. Unless your plant is turning yellow or brown and wilting, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yours looks like it wipes off and isn't fluffy or blotchy.

Thank you so much!
