Plant rust..

[Parker]

Hey guys,

Just a quick query really.. One of my two umbrella plants has developed plant rust which my brother (the hortacorturalist) tells me is a fungal infection of the leaves ... It won't kill the plant but I was wondering could it harm my Cham?

Anyone one have any similar experiences?

Should I remove the plant or do you think it will be fine?

Oh! Also he says the chams environment is perfect for propagating some new plants, has anyone tried this?

Id remove the plant before it spreads to other plants
treat it or just dump it and start fresh.

I dont think the rust will hurt your cham. I sometimes feed some of my feeder prey leaves from an outdoor pear tree that gets rust. Hasnt hurt the chams any (or the bugs, for that matter)

Sounds like a plan! Thanks Sandra
