crap!! bacterial brown spot

missann · #1 (**permalink**) 07-22-2008, 04:43 PM

So I have got this on ONE onc. leaf and it started on the side where I removed two back bulbs the other day and repotted. Um... has anyone defeated this with Physan or should I use something else? If so, where do I get it?

Can you post a pic so we can see what you're up against?

It is only on one leaf, that I have now removed and it has been thrown away already. I know that it is bacterial because the spot was brown and squishy. I don't think it has travelled to any other parts of the plant yet, but I don't know for sure. I also know that it is bacterial brown spot because of the rate at which it killed that leaf..2 days.

You might want to check the roots and check for rot. That cinnamon spray and peroxide does a great job of drying up bacteria rot spots and stuff like that.

In addition to Kortney's suggestion, you might also try triple antibiotic cream from the drugstore.

Better air circulation might help prevent these problems in future.
