Diseases of Geranium

Of course, nobody wants to think about this stuff. Unless you have a greenhouse full of geraniums, why bother? The thing that really caught my attention was the emphasis on prevention. These nasty problems can be so easily prevented with good plant culture:

• Water the soil, not the leaves
• Water early in the day
• Remove diseased plants and plant parts quickly
• Excellent drainage
