Rust

My Fuschias though outdoors are covered and suffering greatly with RUST.Can someone out there suggest a surefire cure.

 

Hi Eddie,remove the affected leaves very carefully & destroy them ,then use a fungicidal spray now & again to try & control it.

Hi Eddie
Welcome to Gc
Nice to meet you.

 

welcome Eddie enjoy the club

 

Hello there Eddie and welcome. Good luck with the Fuschias.

 

Hey to all who responded; thanks for the welcome.
I was in a Garden centre at weekend and presented my query at the information desk. The attendant promptly brought me SYSTHANE FUNGUS FIGHTER. When I gets it home I read the instructions and it says;
DO NOT USE ON FUSCHIAS>

 

Never trust anything anyone ever tells you at a garden centre. They know nothing.

Rusts are encouraged by high humidity and poor ventilation. Over feeding plants will lead to lush growth which also encourages rusts.. Remove infected leaves or whole plants if really bad. When the plants are healthy and "tougher" - you will be less troubled. Personally - I wouldn't spray at all.
