Gardening Expert Reveals Simple Baking Soda Hack to Combat Plant Fungal Infections

A recent online gardening tutorial from 'Gardening with Ish' has highlighted a simple, cost-effective method for combating common plant fungal infections. The video, which has garnered significant attention, demonstrates how to create an anti-fungal spray using household baking soda, also known as bicarbonate of soda. The presenter explained, "Baking soda is absolutely fantastic to use in your garden. Not only has it got antibacterial and antifungal properties, but it can be turned and diluted into a simple spray in order to protect your plants from all sorts of fungal infections. That's like black spot, even things like powdery mildew." He detailed the process, recommending one teaspoon of baking soda per 500 milliliters of water, mixed thoroughly in a spray bottle. Application involves a light misting of affected plants once a week. The tutorial also delved into preventative measures, with the expert noting, "Chances are, it's down to the environment and the conditions like the humidity and some shadiness, especially when it's getting to kind of late autumn, early winter." He suggested improving air circulation by snipping away extra leaves and watering plants directly at the base rather than on the foliage to reduce moisture, thereby minimizing the chance of fungal growth. This accessible gardening hack offers a natural alternative for plant care.
