Hi Cynthia, I have had this break out recently in my zephyranthes & it wasn't until you mentioned yours that I realized what it is. We had a very wet season & this can cause outbreaks although someone sent this to me in dormant bulbs... There is a section on Stagonospora curtisii in our PBS wiki, it recommends treatment with bleach, peroxide with water & systemic fungicide. A couple of things that might help you reduce spread. Spores are air bourn so removing contaminated leaves & burning or carefully disposing is important. Replacing contaminated mix with a fresh well drained mix reduces dropped spores, because it thrives in moist conditions. Avoid watering leaves & bulb during contamination, try to water mix only. Air flow or ventilation around them helps mix dry out after watering. Some treatments recommended on the web are, destroy the bulbs, also hot water treatment, but 100* for 30min would cook them i think, might be ok with big bulbs. Others will know exactly which chemicals will help u I hope... Best of luck getting it under control, it can spread very fast.
