Exploding Brugs !?!?!

Co.Wicklow, Ireland(Zone 8b)

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?

Regards,

Bruno

This happens, when heat and humidity in the greenhouse gets to high. It has nothing to do with the fumigation.


Yes, I also had this on my x flava three years ago. I was not very experienced at that time, so I thought it was a deadly virus. Glad it was not :)

It happened to my Charles Grimaldi and some of it's off spring. None of the suaveolens were damaged.
