Question
I have over 400 impatiens planted in South Florida. Most are doing very well. WE have been very warm and humid and some seen to be developing a botrytis type of mold at soil level. Is there a fungicide I can spray under them?

Answer
Sandy, I would recommend Soap Shield, a copper-based fungicide sold by Garden's Alive. I use this product regularly throughout the year, and it is highly effective against almost all molds and fungus diseases. You can find this product by linking to:

I hope this helps. Enjoy the holidays.
