can anybody tell me please why my young geranium leaves have white patches on them? Also, some of the leaves are curling up.

Is this a hardy geranium or a pelargonium?
if they are wiggly white lines then it is leaf miner
They are pelargoniums. Not a wiggly white line, but white patches as if there was something in the water. I can't understand what. I used wafter from my water butt.
Sounds like powdery mildew. That thrives when there is poor air-flow, so if they are very close together try separating them so they get a bit more air circulation around them. Growing in shade tends to make it worse, too.
Thank you Bob. This problem seemed to occur shortly after I repotted them from my conservatory into garden pots. Some are in a pot alone, there is no crowding.
could it be anything to do with the slow release granule plant food I put in with them?
