Fungi in our flowers

Fungi in our flowers Although having a few pots with flowers in our balcony or inside the House is usually an easy task the truth is that we have to be careful and a type of surveillance on these since although at first glance it may seem that they are in suitable conditions and therefore do not give us problems the fact is that they may be suffering from diseases that we ourselves have caused them, as it is the case with the appearance of fungi.

Certainly the main factor that can help fungus from appearing and that these derived in other infections or pests that can affect our flowers and plants is an abuse when it comes to water them.

And it's true that our plants need water to survive (especially in times of high temperatures) and is for this reason that we must be very outstanding of them when the thermometer rises to avoid drowning by the heat, will dehydrate and die for lack of water.

Now, as in all aspects the abuses they are dangerous and if you take too much water in our pot we run the risk that it is standing and cause several problems such as the appearance of fungi, the attraction of insects that seek water stagnant as e.g. mosquitoes or the root rot.

Therefore, that if we see that our plants leaves begin to languish, losing color and brightness, and having suspicious spots, or we realized that the flowers of this begin to fall or simply dry it is possible that our plant is being victim of some fungi.

There are many treatments that one or another action should be applied depending on the type of fungus that has been installed but the first thing we have to do, regardless of the fungicide used will change the land of the pot and thoroughly clean it to prevent remnants of the evil-doer.

It is also important that we clean with a cloth the leaves and flowers of the plant and even the stem if possible (the roots are not easy to disinfect manually, so if the fungus is found there you will have to apply a more professional method).

Depending on the fungus will have to apply a more or less effective fungicide and a greater or lesser time (envelopes spraying their leaves, flowers, stems, and even roots depending on the degree of plant disease).

And is that if we treat this type of disease from the beginning and with appropriate means no fear for the lives of our flowers, since all we have been sick once.
