Fungal infections in Zinnias can be treated if they are mild or moderate. Here are some organic solutions that seem to have good results:
- **Watering early-morning**: Water early to mid-morning so the foliage has a chance to quickly dry in the sun. This, combined with the space you have provided will allow ample airflow, helping to keep fungal pathogens off of your plants.
- **Natural oil treatments**: You can often effectively treat mild to moderate fungal diseases with horticultural or plant-based oils, such as jojoba or neem oil. Start treatment as soon as you spot any fungal disease symptoms and repeat applications every seven to 10 days, or according to label directions. Fungicidal oils work only on contact, so be sure to completely cover the foliage when you spray.
- **Debris cleanup**: Fungal pathogens often overwinter in plant debris, so rake up and destroy fallen leaves and decaying plant material when the growing season ends.
