Mildew is a bummer to have on any plant. It takes away from both the beauty and although it's not going to directly lead to the plants death, it is damaging to it.

Mildew can prove to be quite difficult to get rid and recures from year to year, so here's an easy home-made recipe that I found that will kill it off in a week or two!


Step 1: What you'll need

What you need to make the mixture:

Water
Baking soda
A spray bottle
A measuring cup
A measuring spoon

For every 1 cup of water you re going to have add quarter of a teaspoon of baking soda stir it well. Now all that's left to do is to pour it into the spray bottle and apply it to your target plant.



Step 2: Apply to the plant

Spray the solution all over the desire plant until it is covered. Ideally you want to repeat this process daily or more frequently if you get around to doing it, but don't worry if you miss a day. The great part about it is that (so far as I can tell) the spray does not irritate the plant at all, so you can feel free to apply it as little or offten as you want and in a week or two that plant will be free of mildew!
