Artificial Strawberry Begonia Leaf Sprays

Leaf sprays that are available for begonias are used to remove mildew. Mildew that is on your begonia is powdery and appears as grayish spots. If you do not take care of the mildew, it can eventually kill the begonia plant. You can remove mildew from the begonia plant by making an artificial leaf spray that is a strawberry scent. To do this, you can use one of two fungicide mixtures.
