Rhizoctonia aerial blight
Rhizoctonia solani on Hoya
Identification
Rhizoctonia aerial blight or leaf spot occur
primarily in the warmer months when they
coincide with high moisture levels. Brown, irregularly-shaped spots form
anywhere on foliage or stems. When
humidities are high the web-like brown
mycelium of the pathogen can cover portions
of the plant which are infected.
Prevention
Only buy healthy plants,
new or sterilized pots and potting media and
avoid placing plants directly on the ground.
