I also grow African violets. For the most part, I had been using baked outdoor dirt and perlite. When I switched to Miracle Grow AV potting mix, the leaves I was starting new plants from molded. The mold may have been from some new plants or the dirt or both. I stirred 1 tsp. of Actinovate powder into the big mixing bowl my AV soil is in. It isn't molding any more.
Would a ground drenching with Actinovate get rid of the harmful fungi? I am using it outside, with a hand pump sprayer on minor leaf spot and daylily and apple rust. It has done a great job on the apple tree! Last year the leaves were all orange. This year, just a few spots. I am respraying today. Also trying it on onion smut, then on powdery mildew on a lilac.
It is a bacteria that eats fungi, so I hope it keeps itself going in the mulch.
