Controlling Fungus on Azalea Cuttings

White fungus on azalea cuttings under plastic is damping off. Improve sanitation and airflow.

Revised Protocol

1. Use 4–6 inch cuttings.
2. Plant in warm, wet sand or soilless mix in a container that fits inside a large clear bag.
3. Top-dress with milled sphagnum moss (antifungal).
4. Open bag twice daily to mist cuttings.
5. Roots in 4–8 weeks.

Remove any infected material promptly. Avoid overcrowding.
