Gerberas

My gerberas are all dying with the leaves browning and withering. Starts with areas that look like rust spots. Anyone got any ideas.

Try our old friend "Google" ! Mine sometimes get a white thing on top I saw an article about Albugo tragopogonis (phew who devised that name) which is not a rust but a fungus all the same common to gerberas.

hi there gerberas get rust, downy mildew and powdery mildew. it may also be root rot or a fertiliser toxicity. spray with mancozeb or 1 part milk to 4 parts water and a few drops of detergent
