| Fuchsia Rust |
Fuchsia rust is caused by a fungus, and appears as pale patches on the upper surface of leaves, with corresponding spore filled orange pustules on the underside.
Remove infected leaves when noticed and destroy any badly affected plants.
The lower leaves are usually worst affected, these shrivel leaving a straggly looking plant.
Fuchsia are sensitive to the fungicides used to control rusts and should not be sprayed.
