How to Treat Dragon Fruit Fungal Disease and Cactus Rust

1) Mix 3% Hydrogen Peroxide with water. 1:1 Ratio. I usually have a spray bottle that I fill half with hydro peroxide and half with water. I mix this well then spray it onto the cactus rust. I do this every 2-3 days until it scabs up and that’s when I know it’s controlled.

2) If hydrogen peroxide mix with water doesn’t help and you see the fungus continue to spread then I’ll jump to “Plant Doctor”. This is an organic fungicide that helps control the spread of cactus rust which is a kind of fungus. Follow the instruction on the bottle to gauge how often it needs to be treated.

3) COPPER FUNGICIDE - this will be my last resort to save my plants from further damage. This is a chemical type of treatment but gets the job done when all fails. I’ll use this once a week and once the fungus dies and starts to stop spreading I’ll use a scalpel to cut off all affected areas and discard far away.

Preventative care from this happening again once you’ve worked so hard to control and treat the illness. Use “NEEM OIL” - Spray this once a week to have a protective layer on the DF branches to help airborne diseases from settling in and attacking again. It’s natural and has properties to repel as a fungicide.
