Hi! I've brought in Impatiens cuttings for the winter, they did take root and I've potted them. Some of the plants have developed tiny white spots on the leaves and look pathetic. I've seen this before, and the plants wilted away and croaked. Is this mildew--is there a simple method of saving the plants? Thanks, Mindy

.... could be feeding sites from insects like mites, could be mealybugs, or some other malady. A picture, please?

Looks like botrytis cinerea (gray mold) or possibly powdery mildew ..... but it looks like you have other cultural issues going on aside from the pathogens.
