Pseudomonas? Rubber Plant

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago



I've recently just transplanted some rubber plant I got from the a local greenhouse into 2 Gallon bags.





Out of curiosity, I googled common rubber plant diseases to see if these marking showed up in a search result

https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/PP/PP30800.pdf

From this pdf from the university of florida, it mentioned Pseudomonas and this is the image they had for it



Their suggestion for management

"Control and treatment: The first line of defense with this disease is exclusion; therefore, eliminate any plants showing disease. Minimize overhead watering since bacteria are easily splashed from plant to plant and can reinfect via stomatal openings. Minimize worker contact, especially if plants are wet."

Looks fairly similar to my photos.. Also, you can see my plants are in close proximity to one another.. Do I really need to throw out the one's with the markings? Even if I do, they're all so close to one one another it seems anything with the potential to spread would have already. I don't have a lot of windows to isolate the one's with potential disease, and I don't want to throw them out unless I know for certain I have to. Any suggestions? Am I overreacting? I would like to think I am but then again the images do match pretty well.. I was hoping to develop these into large trees and committed them to 2 gallons of fox farm potting soil which I need to re-purpose soon if these plants need to be discarded.


Thanks for your consideration.
