Botrytis (Grey Mould)

[gumboil]

I foolishly bought a couple of packs of young geraniums from a Guernsey supplier on behalf of the mother-in-law. They were poor quality on arrival, but I potted them on into individual cell trays and they perked up quite a bit.

Some of the plants have leaves that are showing distinctive botrytis patches and the unmistakable furry mould can be seen on the plants and the compost.

I want to spray them with a fungicide, preferably systemic, to see if it will help. Which ones can you recommend for the purpose please?

I used to be pretty familiar with most of them years ago, but many fungicides now seem to have been taken off the market.

Many thanks

I would recommend that you dont use fungicide, as i would have thought this may kill them off. But maybe try taking some cuttings clear of botrytis, and see how they go.
