Geranium may be infected with leaf spot disease. The plant should be well ventilated and transparent. The diseased branches and leaves should be cut and destroyed in time. Bordeaux solution should be sprayed every two weeks. Grey mould is also one of the diseases that may be infected. It is necessary to remove the diseased leaves and flowers in time, and spray chlorothalonil when the disease first occurs. The white planthopper may be infected in the growth and can be sprayed with medicine for prevention and control. The medicine can be chamomile emulsion, zinc chloride emulsion, acetamiprid, etc.

I. leaf spot

Symptoms: many irregular brown spots of different sizes will appear on the leaves in the early morning, and then gradually expand into dark brown spots. When it is serious, the whole leaves will be covered with disease spots until they are dry and fall off. The stems will also be dry and rotten with it, causing great damage to the geranium.

Prevention and control: at the beginning of planting, make sure that the density is not too large, and do a good job of ventilation and light transmission. Avoid splashing when watering, otherwise it will dry up. If any diseased leaves or branches are found, they need to be cut and destroyed in time, and Bordeaux solution should be sprayed every two weeks.
