I'm growing two types of eggplants for the very first time: Beatrice and Black Beauty.
Beatrice has got this white, fuzzy stuff growing on all her leaves. She's healthy otherwise, full of bright lavender blooms, and is about to throw her second set of fruit.
Before she threw her first set of eggplant, I noticed mealybug invasion. So, I washed every leaf with a bucketful of soapy water (Lemon Ajax) and a good rinse. As I rinsed her off, I noticed there was a velvety fuzz that had covered her leaves that also rinsed away, leaving the leaves smooth. Could that velvety fuzz have been a part of her makeup (no pun intended), and could that be what's growing back?
Sure hope so, cause I don't know what to do for powdery mildew.
Beatrice is a looker!
If it's powdery mildew, what do I DEW?
