Hi, our Bromeliad has started to get a white powdery mould on its leaves that appears to be eating away at the leaves. Any advice?
Cheers
Garry
Hey Garry,
Powdery mould is generally the result of insufficient air flow. We suggest washing it off with clean water, though don't scrub hard otherwise you'll damage the leaf surface which has water absorbing scales on it. Then make sure you maintain good airflow around it.
If the mould re-appears then try a misting of surface fungicide.
