Use Plant Doctor in the app to diagnose a disease:
Bacterial Blight
Caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae, which thrives in high humidity and warm temperatures, leading to water-soaked lesions on leaves that eventually turn brown or black.
To manage bacterial blight, start by isolating the affected plant to prevent the spread. Remove and destroy all infected parts of the plant. Ensure good air circulation around your anthuriums and avoid overhead watering to keep the foliage dry. Using bactericides can be effective, but prevention is key. Maintain lower humidity levels and avoid crowding plants to improve air flow. Regularly inspect plants for early signs of infection to tackle issues promptly.
