Treatment and care for indoor plants against white rust
Identifying the symptoms of white rust
White rust is a fungal disease that can affect your houseplants. It appears as white or yellowish spots on the leaves, which can eventually turn brown and fall off. If you don't treat it quickly, the disease can spread to other parts of the plant and even to other plants in your home.
Treating white rust
Treating white rust requires attention and time. It is advisable to isolate the diseased plant to prevent the spread of the disease. Then, carefully remove the infected leaves. To treat the disease, use a suitable fungicide that you can find in garden centers or on the Arcane Céleste website. Apply the treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions until the symptoms disappear.
Preventing white rust
Prevention is the best weapon against white rust. Make sure your plants have enough light and space to breathe. Avoid overwatering, which encourages the growth of fungi. Also, maintain good hygiene by cleaning pots and gardening tools regularly.
Climate change and plant health
Climate change can also impact the health of your indoor plants. Indeed, the increase in temperature and humidity promotes the development of certain fungal diseases, such as white rust. We must therefore adapt our care and behavior to protect our plants from these new threats.
