Well spring brings good news and bad news. Found our Gardenia COVERED in black mold. It was planted in full sun as a cover plant to the well pump cover. (I think they recommended partial shade.) We read "the book" and it suggested insectisidale soap. The only thing we had was a very weak dish washing liquid solution. Cleaned of the plant and power washed it with the hose. Looks much better and hope we have helped more than hurt. The plant is about 3 years old and is very vigorous. Leave were very strong. Any suggestions to what we have found?
