Q&A - How do I know I have killed the mildew on my phlox?
Question:
How do I know I have really killed the mildew in my phlox?
Answer:
Phlox is known to get powdery mildew in humid climates. If you live in a humid climate you will need to spray phlox regularly with fungicide. The fungicide is only a preventative treatment. If the mildew is on the leaves already, fungicide will not get rid of it. Continue to spray regularly to keep the mildew from spreading.
