In response to your question on fungicides maybe I can help. I saw at
least 2 replys to your question, one said Benylate (which is no longer on
the market) and the other said air circulation (which is best). If you
are looking for fungicides, remember that most if not all the labels DO
NOT MENTION CP and so use your own judgement. I work in the
horticultural field and have to deal with the above. A substitute for
Benylate is a compound known as "Domaine" or Clearies. These 2 products
are related chemicaly to Benylate and have the same mode of action.
Another fungicide which seems to be very good with a broad range of
control is Daconil. I have used Daconil to control botritis on some of
my Drosera and have found that it does damage the leaves in that they
quit producing resin. Other than that it does not seem to hurt the
plants.
