Hello Nexian comrades,
I have been growing a Datura Metel ( variety 'Fastuosa' with double, purple/white flowers) since last year's summer.
It produced many flowers that left behind plenty of thornapples.
I collected some seeds that the seedpods had dropped once they had dried and cracked open.
I left it standing and it managed to survive winter, allthough the dried seedpods caught a black furry fungus.
Nevertheless it started producing a nice bunch of green leaves again during the first sunny days that came this year.
Some of the leafs have went limb and fell off. I decided to prune off the fungalised seedpods and parts of the stem.
I have watered it more frequently lately, as the days have become more and more sunny lately. New leaves have continued to grow,
but also go limb after a while. Appearantly enough of the fungus is still inside the main stem.
Does anyone know a good way to save my Datura Metel? Perhaps a suitable fungicide I could use?
Or another way I can kill the fungus yet spare the plant?
I hope to avoid pruning the main stem further down, unless it's absolutely nececairy.
