Hi Robin, thanks for your very informative articles. I have an angelwing begonia that is about 35 years old.(the roots are..) I give cuttings to friends every year. This year after bringing it in from outside, it lost all it's leaves. that is not so unusual, they are growing back. The disturbing thing is that now many of the stalks are covered with powdery mildew. Is there any thing to do? I wiped them down with plain water, but it just came back. My neighbors get mildew on the squash in the garden and I get it on my peony's at the very end of the season. I've never had it on a house plant. What to do? if I cut it all the way down will it kill it?
Thank you for your help,
Meliss
