Bicarb spray applied!!

I was looking for natural preventatives and controllers for powdery mildew for my ferox since this is my first encounter with it, and found that I could make a bicarb spray!

I just mixed bicarbonate of soda (baking soda for US counterparts), dish soap, and water. I did spray it quite liberally since feroxes have soooo many nooks and crannies, but it should be fine.

Hopefully that’ll keep the mildew at bay!! Will keep you posted 🫑
