Gomphrena globosa 'QIS Pink' problems — and how to fix them
Gomphrena globosa 'QIS Pink' (Gomphrena globosa 'QIS Pink') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Powdery mildew
Crowding and poor airflow bring a white coating on leaves; space plants in full sun and avoid wetting foliage.
Root rot from overwatering
Wet, heavy soil rots the roots of this drought-lover; plant in free-draining ground and let it dry between waterings.
Leggy, sparse blooms in shade
Insufficient sun stretches stems and cuts flower count; site in the brightest spot available.
Frost damage
Even light frost kills this tender annual; sow or plant out only after the last frost and well into warm weather.
