Mildrew / mould on Honeysuckle
Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2009 7:41 am
Hi. I was wondering if someone could answer me a couple of questions with regard to me honeysuckle. This my first ever garden and I'm having an issue as the topic suggests.
I planted it last year in a pot and it grew ok up the trellis on the house and this year its started ok again and put on some good new growth. However I its started to get white spots on the leaves. Readin a little I think its mildrew? Some look ok apart from the spots although some are starting to get a little ropey where the spots are. There tends to be one large spot per affected leaf toward the middle of the leaf.
Ive brought a diesese spray and sprayed the plant but I'm curious as to wether this is the right thing to do? Can the plant be treated back to health? I have no expirence with this sort of thing?
Also, whats likely to have caused this? Is it me? Can I do something to help prevent this happening etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
