Stagonospora Treatment

Dear Pamela,

Bulb mites can also cause red blotches on Amarillidaceae. Here i use captan
and tebuconazole (active ingredients) for red blotch, but i re-treat the
bulbs-plants after 10 days and wait to see if new leaves are healthy. If
the blotches are only on the bulb and on the leaves they appear as
horizontal stripes/zones it is usually because of mites, which needs a
totally different treatment.

Dear PBS,
Following an exceptionally wet nine months, I have Stagonospora on
Habranthus magnoi and Zephryanthes spp. I completed the treatment
recommended on the wiki using the bleach method and red blotches remain on
bulbs and their roots.

Is the solution perhaps too weak? I've soaked other bulbs (Sparaxis for
one) in a 5% bleach solution without ill effects.

I cannot use chemical treatments. Suggestions anyone?

Very much appreciate it,
Pamela Slate
