Sarah Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Our Frangipani tree has gotten Frangipani Rust, and mum's pulling all the leaves off.. but I have buckets outside where I've dumped plants in, and they are going wild (HM and tall vals). The yellowish-orange rust stuff have gotten all in the buckets, and basically covered most of it. Is there any way I can save the plants? I was going to put them in another tank once that was set up. Maybe a dip with PP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 A good rinse and a quick dip in PP to be sure should be fine. Frangipani rust shouldn't affect aquatic plants anyway. Your Mum hasn't sprayed or dusted the leaves with any chemicals that may have gotten in the buckets? If so, I wouldn't risk it and throw the lot...

Sarah Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks Jarrod! Just thought I'd ask, there's quite a lot there so would be such a shame to throw it all. I meant to double check with mum re chemicals, but she never uses any, so should be fine - thanks for reminding me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hey Sarah Tell mum to make sure she bags the leaves from the frangipani with rust as they should not go into the compost but straight into the bin. and then follow what Jarrod said and no it wont effect your aquatics Cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks Les. That's exactly what she did. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
