Sure! Here are three different ways to tackle powdery mildew on your plants:

**Spotting It**: First off, look for that classic white, powdery stuff on the leaves. It usually shows up on the tops of the leaves first. If you see it, try to isolate the affected plants. For treatment, you can mix one tablespoon of baking soda with a gallon of water and spray it on the leaves. It helps to raise the pH on the leaf surface, making it harder for the mildew to thrive.

**Identification Tips**: Powdery mildew looks like a white or grayish coating on the leaves and can also affect stems and buds. If your plant’s leaves are curling or turning yellow, that might be a sign too. To treat it, you can use a mix of water and a few drops of dish soap to spray the affected areas. Make sure to cover the undersides of the leaves too!
