Ok....so maybe not exploding...but not far off it! I gave all my Brugs a good watering lastnight and today my greenhouse got a bit too hot! I'd realised my greenhouse was warmer and more humid than normal when i first entered it today! When i started giveing all my brugs a quick check over i noticed an aurea hybrid's leaf covered in what first appeared to be slug dammage...when i looked closer the damaged areas had cystal-like tissue around them and looked similar to the white growths that cuttings in water get. Then i noticed a CG flower (my first brug flower of the year) covered in the same crystal-like damage! Since none of my Insignis or suaveolens show any damaged and these natuarlly like more heat than other brugs, i presume it to be caused by the combination of high humidity and heat! is this right? Could the fact that i fumigate the greenhouse regularly have contributed to this?
