 One of the most mystifying things that can happen to your garden is when a plant gets a disease. How did it happen? Will it spread? Will all my vegetation die? How am I able get rid of it? The most important thing to understand about disease prevention is something referred to as the disease triangle. Disease can only happen when three things coincide: you have a plant which could get unwell (a host), a pathogen (like a fungus, virus or bacterium) that could attack the plant and environmental conditions (like humidity or drought) that promote the disease.
