Pelargonium is popular all over the world. It is easy to grow, easy to propagate, and this wonderful plant blooms with colorful inflorescences. But despite its unpretentiousness, pelargonium can get sick, and it is very important to take timely measures to save it.
Instructions
Step 1
The lower leaves turn yellow. If the leaves remain tough and only the edges dry out, then insufficient watering is to blame for the disease. If the yellowed leaves completely wither, then on the contrary, there is too much moisture. Change the watering regime and pelargonium will quickly regain its beauty.
Step 2
Reddening of the edges of the leaves. Pelargonium freezes. Try to remove pelargonium from the windowsill on frosty nights.
Step 3
The stem darkens. The disease is called black leg. Unfortunately, in this case, it will not be possible to save pelargonium and it will have to be destroyed. To prevent this situation from repeating, use sterilized soil.
Step 4
The lower leaves are falling. A sure sign of a lack of light. Pelargoniums are very fond of light. Choose a more lighted area.
Step 5
The appearance of watery pads on the leaves. Edema is a harmless disease that occurs due to excessive watering. Water less pelargonium and the pads will disappear.
Step 6
The appearance of gray mold on the leaves. This disease is called gray rot and occurs when waterlogged. The disease is contagious, so remove the affected leaves, treat pelargonium with a systemic fungicide, and reduce watering.
Step 7
Lack of flowers (at room pelargonium). If there are no more external signs of the disease, then the reason is too warm air. Remove pelargonium from the battery. Ventilate the room more often if possible.
