Emersed Culture and Use of Fungicide


How do you manage fungi on plants that are grown emersed? I assume the white cobweb looking stuff on the plant is a fungus.

I just read a discussion at BarreReport - http://www.barrreport.com/showthread...gus-Help/page2

I've been misting the plants twice a day using a spray bottle with RO water and I need to stop it allowing the leaves to dry.

i never had to, but you could try methyl paraben. its a food preservative, and naturally produced in some fruits. people put it in their fruit fly cultures to keep them from molding.

I moved the affected plant submersed in one of my planted tanks. It's pearling, hopefully, the fungus will get washed off by the water current.
