Control and Prevention:

Alternaria Leaf Spot: Apply a fungicide to protect and encourage healthy plants.

Bacterial slow wilt: Bending, twisting, curling and stunting of side shoots and lower leaves, followed by the death of the lower leaves, is a clear indication your plant is suffering from bacterial slow wilt.

Viruses: Yellow spotting and leaves that are mottled is an indication that your carnations are suffering from a virus. To treat, use insect and mite controls and destroy any infected plants.

Rust: To treat it, plant virus-indexed cuttings. Its also a good idea to tackle mites and insects and, as with viruses, to destroy any infected plants to prevent the disease from spreading.
