FAQ About Indoor Plant Disease Resistance Strategies

What are common diseases that affect indoor plants?

Indoor plants are susceptible to various diseases like root rot, powdery mildew, leaf spot, and botrytis. Root rot often results from overwatering and poor drainage. Powdery mildew appears as a white, powdery substance on leaves, especially in damp conditions. Leaf spot can cause brown or black lesions on the foliage, and botrytis, or gray mold, can affect flowers and stems. Recognizing these diseases early is critical for effective treatment and prevention.
