Gongora trouble

[Lars Kurth]

Hi,

I recently made some changes to my greenhouse, mainly to ensure that all is ready for winter and because some of my previous equipment (fans, etc.) was already several years old.

As a consequence the environment changed, and I had about two weeks where I was playing with various settings. For a few days the temperature dropped to 12-13C at night. A couple of days later, 3 individual new shoots on 3 different Gongora's started rotting with soft rot. I removed them since, treated the plants with a systemic fungicide and ensured that the night temperature does not drop below 18C.

I am wondering whether other people have observed similar issues: are Gongora's really that sensitive?

Regards
Lars
