Applying a spray fungicide
Default Applying a spray fungicide

Recently I picked up a fungicide but it does not have instructions to do a soak with it. It seems to only be a spray application. My question is I thought phals and paphs were not supposed to get their leaves wet or let water get in the crown/ leaf axis. Is it bad to spray a fungicide on these plants or being a fungicide mixed with water makes it okay?
Thanks
Pete

Great question. Perhaps letting water stand on it for too long can also cause bacterial rot, which the spray does not protect against. In anycase, its perfectly safe to spray leaves so long as they dry out within an hour or two. So maybe you can spray the plant and put a fan or blower of some kind on the plant to dry it out.
