| 2008-09-05 | Jamie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your help and timely response. I used the soap spray and although my plant got a bit worse, it has now started some new healthy growth again! |
| 2008-09-03 | Alice | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | No | Mike - thanks. You asked if I had definitely identified the lilac white patch problem as flies, and noted it could be powdery mildew. when I was spraying the plant, I brushed against some of the white, which came off on my arm - it looked like small wings, but didn't really "act" like a whitefly. The one online powdery mildew picture does not look like what is on my lilac. Do you have a definitive way to tell? Would it hurt to just try the copper-based fungicide? |
