Pustules: In gardening, pustules, which appear as raised, blister-like spots on plants, often show a fungal or bacterial disease.
Pustules on plants are like little pimples, which are usually not a good sign. They’re often a symptom of a fungal or bacterial infection, kind of like when you get a rash. Think of it as the plant saying, “I don’t feel so good.”
These pustules can appear on leaves, stems, or even fruit and vary in color and size depending on the specific disease. It’s like how different illnesses can cause different types of rashes on people. Sometimes, they might be small and barely noticeable, while other times, they can be large and quite alarming.
If you see pustules on your plants, it’s essential to figure out what’s causing them so you can take action. It’s like going to the doctor when you’re not feeling well – you need to know what’s wrong before you can treat it. Ignoring pustules can lead to the disease spreading and potentially killing your plants.
