Well, I guess this is what I get for keeping plants inside the greenhouse this summer. Snails, cats, scale, white flies And Now , Look at the mold on the leaves of the plants. Brugs, Scented geraniums, and a few other things. I know the dampness has every thing to do with it. It's been raining quite often for the last week or two. And I haven't gotten my husband to hang the fan at the other end of the greenhouse yet. I do have one at one end blowing out. I was going to put another at the other end blowing in. We just haven't had a chance to do it yet.

Is this considered a fungus? I know having them outside would be better for them. I do have several brugs outside, and they don'thave themold growing on the leaves. The taller brugs have the mold growing on the leaves, it does wash off too. Any ideas how to get the mold off the leaves, or just let them fall off, cause the ones that get mold on them eventually fall off. My husband is going to hang the fan today. So that will help bring in air better. I don't have alot of partely shady spots to put the brugs at. Mostly l00% full sun and that turns their leaves yellow really bad. So I thought growing them in the greenhouse would give them some shade, and it has helped with their yellow leaves. Their all green now, And moldy LOL. Well, not all but the taller ones are. I've had one trouble after the other this spring and summer in the greenhouse and really have to keep on top of it to keep it controlled. Sometimes I just don't know if it's worth it or not. Having all the pretties , you know.

I've washed some of the mold off this leaf as you can tell in the picture.
