Try spraying them with a mix of dishsoap, water, and oil. Make sure you get the bottom sides of the leaves and stems too! Will need to reapply after rain or overhead watering. Also, apply early in the morning, or in the evening, before or after the sun stops shining on them to prevent leaf burn. You can also spray with a fungicide to help prevent fungal infections like powdery mildew and such. Also don't water during the heat of the day. Best time to water is before 10 am and late evening. If watering in the evening try to not get the foliage wet as that can promote fungus problems. Hope that helps

I believe I posted a recipe for the spray in the Controlling pests and Diseases, or Organic Gardening threads somewhere... |
