Withered, dead or rotten tissues should be removed immediately, as they can become a dangerous source of infections.

Oídio is a fungus that affects rose bushes, oaks, apple trees, herbaceous plants and shade bananas, among other plants.
It usually attacks flowers, leaves, stems and fruits of various species. The most distinctive feature of this fungus is the white powder, in addition to the deformation of the leaves and flower buds. This evil is spread through spores that are transported by the wind like all fungi and, although it is rarely avoidable, you can do something so that the fungus does not continue to expand.

Mildiu is a fungal disease that enters the stems, fruits and tissues of the leaves. In agriculture it damages the crops of tobacco, potatoes and cucurbits, in addition to cannabis.
The first symptoms of Mildiu are the appearance of white or yellow spots, usually transparent in the leaf bundle.
If the humidity is very high, probably, a white dust forms on the underside that can easily be confused with the Oidio, although if we scrape the Mildiu, what we will actually find are “oil stains”.
