A few days ago I found 3 nice beautiful 18" S. flavas at a local store.
(local meaning about 1 1/2 hour drive away)
When I went to re-pot my flavas tonight I discovered that what I thought were three are actually 8 individual rhizomes.
Yipee!
However, almost all of them have the white fluffy mold, or fungus, or whatever it is.
What to do?
It is down on the rhizomes and the roots.
I loaned out my neem oil some time ago and it never came back.
(it said it was fungicide and insecticide)
The local stores (meaning only a few minutes away) are out and won't get more until next spring (planting season is over they said).
Do I make the long drive to find some fungicide or is there something else I can do? I can rub much of it off with my fingers under water, but surely much still remains.
Obviously I don't want to pot these plants until I get rid of the creeping crud. Can I store them in a bowl of water for a day or so until I get this fixed?
What is the best thing to do here?
