Powdery Mildew

dshreter · June 5, 2020

I seem to have powdery mildew on one of the tomato plants in my garden. From the start, the plant has had a consistently purple stem making me think it was never very healthy, and now has the mildew.

I’m willing to try and save the plant by treating it, but wondering if this is a case where it should really just be destroyed to avoid more problems since I have about 25 plants. Any experience with this? With good care of my other plants, is having one impacted plant likely to spread powdery mildew, or is it OK to do my best to save this one?
