If you notice stunted gray or white areas on your garden plants, chances are your plants have been infected with a fungus. Although fungus generally doesn't kill plants, it is unsightly and will eventually cause the leaves to turn brown and fall off. If you prefer not to use toxic chemicals in your garden, treat your plants with some homemade natural vinegar fungus fighter.
Things You'll Need
2 gallons water
2-gallon plant sprayer
6 tbsp. organic apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. vegetable oil or citrus oil
2 tbsp. dark molasses
1 tbsp. baking soda
Place 2 gallons of water in the plant sprayer.
Add 6 tbsp. of organic apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp. of vegetable oil or citrus oil, 2 tbsp. of dark molasses and 1 tbsp. of baking soda. Shake the sprayer to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Spray the natural vinegar fungus fighter lightly on the tops and bottom of the leaves of affected plants in the morning or evening when the air is cool. Treat only the affected areas.
Repeat once each week.
Tips & Warnings
Cut the recipe in half for a 1-gallon plant sprayer.
Don't over-spray plants with natural vinegar fungus fighter. A very light misting is adequate.
Put a small amount of natural vinegar fungus fighter in a spray bottle and use it to treat mildew on indoor plants.
Do a test on a small area of the plant before treating the entire plant. Treat a lower leaf with natural vinegar fungus fighter and wait 24 hours to made sure your plant suffers no adverse effects.
