My Pansies are Sick

Sick Pansies

I think they are. I have not encountered this dusty look of the leaves of my pansies. I thought the dusty white color one on the leaves are just powder from somewhere. I have noticed it this afternoon and showed it to my hubby. He said they are fungus/fungi. The pansies are still blooming and I don´t how to cure them. I need a garden "doctor" here to tell me what to do. Any idea? Can I treat them with dishwashing soap and water solution too like the one I did with my lantana camara? I will be throwing my pansies in the bin if they will die

. BTW, I don´t know how to send a suggestion of post to other Mylotters. Can you tell me please how? I keep on receiving suggestions but I have no idea how to do it. Thank you very much. I hope you have a great Tuesday. Bye for now. See you in your discussions.

@DianneN Yes, I have. I am trying 1 tsp. of baking powder, 3 cups of water and a few drops of dishwashing soap solution and spraying it on my sick pansies. It is looking good.

Maybe it's not bad to ask at the herbal pharmacy for some means with which you could spray

I didn´t go there as it would be expensive. My pansies are healing now. Thank you @LowRiderX

If it's fungus, fungicide will do the job.

Yes, but I don´t like to buy this fungicide. I want something without chemicals. Anyway, I am treating the plants already from baking powder and dishwashing soap water solution. Thanks @Nakitakona

That is awful I hope you can kill it so it doesn’t spread to other plants. We can’t suggest our own posts to others.

I have no idea what it could be but I'm sure fellow gardeners here will have an answer for you. Your pansies do look pretty though.

You can't suggest your own posts, but you can others. There's a suggest link at the bottom of the post. I hope you find a plant doctor among myLotters.

Sorry to know about it but if any near plant shop, you get any suggestions for it. Most of time i search things on YouTube so you may try it too if you get any video of how to take care of it.

Oh dear, I read the article from the link Maluse gave you, and there seems to be no chemical to treat this problem. I haven't planted any yet, but thought about planting some in my front garden.

This is a good treatment for the plants @YrNemo because it doesn´t include chemicals. Now you know how to treat your plants just in case you will have this problem in the future. Thank you.

Your hubby may be right. I searched in the net for you and found s simple home remedy for treating the fungus and sharing it below. " Make a typical baking soda spray by dissolving 1 teaspoon of baking soda into one quart of water. You can add a few drops of insecticidal soap or liquid soap to help the solution spread and stick to the leaves. Only use liquid soap, like Ivory, and not laundry detergent. "
