How Do You Keep Powdery Mildew from Taking Over?

Powdery mildew is one of those frustrating plant diseases that can sneak up fast, especially if the conditions are just right. And there isn’t just one kind of powdery mildew, there are thousands. Different strains affect different plants, but they all thrive under similar conditions. Powdery mildew loves warm, humid environments with stagnant air. This is why it tends to show up in late summer or early fall, when cool nights are followed by warm, sunny days. The moisture lingers just long enough for spores to take hold, and once they do, they spread quickly. 🌱 For outdoor growers, you can’t control the weather, but you can space your plants properly to improve airflow and avoid overcrowding, which helps reduce moisture buildup. 🌿 For greenhouse and indoor growers, airflow and humidity are critical. Stagnant air creates the perfect breeding ground for mildew. Use oscillating fans and ensure good ventilation to keep air moving. If the air is too humid (above 60%), you’re increasing the risk. Dehumidifiers and proper venting help regulate moisture. Also, watch temperature fluctuations. If warm, humid conditions persist for too long, mildew can appear. Certain plants are more susceptible than others. If you’re struggling with powdery mildew year after year, consider growing varieties that are naturally resistant. But if you’re working with plants that are prone to it, adjusting your environment is key. And if powdery mildew does show up? Act fast. A thorough application of Lost Coast Plant Therapy can help stop it in its tracks, wash spores away, and prevent it from spreading. 💦🌿 #powderymildew #gardeningadvice #outdoorgrowers #indoorgrowers #gardeningtips #gardentips
