Don't throw away Madagascar periwinkle leaves that have turned white - a little gardener teaches you one simple and practical trick

Madagascar periwinkle, also called rose periwinkle or four-season spring, is loved by everyone because it can bloom in all four seasons. Recently, some flower friends have reported that their Madagascar periwinkle leaves are turning white - what is going on? This should mean your Madagascar periwinkle has powdery mildew and needs timely treatment.

When Madagascar periwinkle gets powdery mildew, it is mainly caused by compacted soil, overwatering, and poor ventilation, which leads to root oxygen deprivation and necrosis, causing some leaves to die off. You can spray carbendazim or chlorothalonil for prevention and control. Madagascar periwinkle likes light, so it can be placed in a well-ventilated spot with ample light for care.

At the same time, loosen the soil appropriately and control watering well. For watering Madagascar periwinkle, follow the principle of not watering until dry, and when watering, water thoroughly.

If the soil is compacted, you can repot it, choosing loose, fertile soil rich in humus.
