Detect and treat illnesses on hard-working Lieschen
The industrious Lieschen is under the right conditions a relatively frugal plant with a very long flowering period. However, various factors can lead to weak growth, a low number of flowers or even the total loss of plants.

It is essential to change the substrate before planting new hardwood licks. The downy mildew usually occurs after cool rain phases on the underside of the leaves and can spread quickly. Affected plants should be removed as soon as possible and removed in a closed plastic bag.
Often, disease-like symptoms result from care and location errors
The most common deficiency symptoms do not go back to disease, but to incorrect conditions of location and care.Different reasons can be decisive for this:
Full sunny locations are as badly tolerated by hardworking Lieschen as are extremely dark corners in the garden or on the balcony. Inadequate light often results in elongated stems with only a few leaves. When pouring should be used as low as possible lime water.

This can sometimes lead to the death of all plants.
