SP>  Rob, I tend to have a knee-jerk reaction to using chemicals that can
SP>  harm people, especially on my indoors food plants. My household
SP>  disinfectant spray (a no-name brand that smells like Lysol) contains
SP>  -Whew, I need better glasses -Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride,
SP>  O-phenyl phenol. In my house, I use it sparingly, since I neither want
SP>  to breathe nor ingest such items.
   Hm - I know what you mean about glasses!  The listed chemicals on
   this (Lysol brand) are (or seem) different.  However, the length of
   the name is not the scary part - I would like to find out what the
   hazards are - if any.  Otherwise - I don't propose (and never do) go
   blastiung away with this or any other stuff.  A half second "blast"
   about a foot or two away from a full grown semi-minature will clear
   up the mildew problem.  One - I agree - should not remain in the room
   after spraying.  One thing to consider is the molds (such as mildew)
   also contaminate the air with their spores.  Getting rid of the mold
   that way is probably the lesser problem.
   Lets see - whats in this. O-Phenylphenol 0.100%,  N-Alkyl
   (C18 92%,C16 8%) N-Ethyl Morpholinium Ethylsulfates 0.035%.
   Ow this is hard on the old eyes!  I'm just guessing, but it looks
   like the real active ingrediant is a phenol compound.
SP>  I think I'd rather try fermented urine from a healthy person! :-) But
SP>  fortunately, I don't have to. Somewhere I have the exact recipe for a
SP>  baking soda spray or dip that will do the job. If I find it, I'll post
SP>  it. Wait'll I go look.
SP>   Couldn't find it that quickly : maybe Wl-Ski has it, since I saved
SP>   her post on certain sprays. :-)
    I will keep my eyes open - anways looking for better ways of growing
    healthy plants.  Somehow I have my doubts about baking soda in
    this respect - but I think it's worth testing.

    True enough.  Perhaps someday when AI becomes reality.  ;)  Lets
    face it - pruning is a real mixture of science, art, and instinct.
    (Probably mixed with a fair portion of blunder).
