Are these poor ladies worth saving ? The high humidity and hot spell (more than one) in central california took its toll on these poor plants. I noticed white on the fan leaves, tried to clean them. I read all I could about pm and mold on here and other sites. So far all I have used is H2O2 to get rid of it. I am in the hunt for green cure and horsetail tea. This little podunk town doesn't have any shops that carry anything useful. The biggest town/city is 60 plus miles away.

TIA earl

Fuck Earl, I'm having a hard time seeing the powder mold. Do you have bugs?

a mongo frog, those pics are after I cleaned and sprayed with H2O2 a day ago. I found white spots and the mottled (?) leaves after it was over 100+ outside. there was moisture on the plants. I didn't think much about it since there is a oscillating fan on them. I was away for a family funeral and got back to see them with the white stuff. I checked for bugs, of course this old fart cant see shit as small as mites and such.

Get a jewelers loupe if you cannot see.

Some pictures it looks like mite damage and other spots it looks like calcium def.

It's definitely not PM though, not in any of the pictures I see.

I didn't notice powdery mildew but I did notice what looks like spider mite damage. You can check for spider mites easy and free and right NOW!!!. Piece of white paper, hold it under a branch and shake it (branch not paper) shake it like you mean it but not enough to rough anything up. If you have mites you will see them as dark and or light specks on the paper. If you take a pencil and make a grid pattern on the paper first it makes the mites easier to see moving around. If you squash a spot and it leaves a streak or a juicy spot then its probably mites.
