Mix:
1 tablespoon of baking soda
1 tablespoon of liquid soap
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 gallon of water
After mixing, apply on a spot test of one leaf or stem to check the plant’s response.
If there is no harm to your plant you can spray to the entire plant. Remember to apply your spray after watering the plant and early in the morning before sunrise to prevent burning of the plant, and maximize effectiveness.
Apply weekly to prevent powdery mildew from spreading further.
