How to Kill White Fungus on Plants
- 1). Crush an entire bulb of garlic. Use a garlic press or simply smash the cloves with the backside of a large kitchen knife against a cutting board.
- 2). Fill a pot with 1 qt. of tap water. Add the crushed garlic to the water. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Turn off the heat once the water begins to boil. Allow the mixture to cool.
- 3). Strain the garlic out of the water with a small strainer or colander. Pour the water into a clean spray bottle. Spray the affected areas of the plants generously with the garlic spray. Repeat as needed until the fungus is gone.
- 1). Fill a bucket with 1 gallon of water.
- 2). Add 2 tbsp. of baking powder to the water.

- 4). Stir the mixture with a knife or large kitchen spoon.
- 5). Fill an empty spray bottle with the baking soda water. Spray the fungus on your plants. You shouldn't have to use as much of this spray because the vegetable oil will help it stick to the plant longer.
