Hello,
Can anyone tell me where to get Subdue Fungicide at a more affordable price than $200-$300 per quart? I had the bad experience of purchasing a changeable water lily from an ponding online store that sent me a specimen with crown rot. Being new to ponding I did not recognize the "rank" smell of the plant (when I took it out of the bag) as being the first indication that something was amiss. Also, I did not realize that healthy roots should be white, not dark brown/black. I had assumed that this was supposed to be the way they were and when the plant died a couple of weeks later I thought that maybe I had done something wrong. It took me about a month to figure out what it really was. Had I know earlier I would have made a complaint sooner and requested an exchange.
So, now I have decided that I should soak all new specimens in Subdue fungicide for 2 hours (if bare root) like various "experts" suggest if I am concerned about this happening again. Problem is that this stuff is not sold in local big box stores and it seems to be very expensive. Any ideas?
