Mold/mildew and gnats in indoor greenhouse? - November 25th, 2006 at 03:47 AM
Several plants that were not doing too well when the forced air gas furnace kicked on are doing a *lot* better in my makeshift greenhouse in the spare bedroom (over-the-commode shelf covered by plastic that covered a new mattress, with a warm mist Vicks vaporizer refilled about every other day).
The gnats are also doing well in there, and any dead spots on the plants are growing white fuzzy mold. I can cut off the dead parts of the plants but the cuts seem to grow the mold as well.
The plants in there now are the corkscrew vine (3 cuttings, 2 finally recuperating), Mexican petunia, and ivy pelargonium. The mold is concentrated on the corkscrew vine.
Any suggestions on how to control the gnats and the mold without killing the plants?
Thanks in advance.
