Hi Everyone, We've got a mold growing on our Tellima grandiflora and it seems to be having some negative impact on the health of the plant. Can anyone identify this for me and let me know any possible remedies. Thanks.
This would be called a mildew. Identifying which particular one is the work of a specialist. However, you don't have to find out that to undertake control measures. If it were mine my first move would be to clip and discard the affected leaves. It might be a seasonally occurring infestation that won't come back until next summer. I would also tend to assume it was associated with drought conditions and try to prevent it by mulching to improve retention of soil moisture.
