Why are my pansies looking sick?

Our Advice:

Pansies can be susceptible to diseases such as powdery mildew, botrytis, and root rot. These diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor soil drainage, overwatering, and overcrowding. To prevent disease, make sure to plant pansies in well-draining soil and space them out properly to promote good air circulation. Also, avoid overhead watering, as this can promote the growth of fungal diseases. If disease is suspected, remove any infected plant material and treat with a fungicide if necessary.
