Answer to Question 1

Bacterial diseases thrive when surface moisture is present. A pathway for this type of infection is made
when plant material is damaged or stressed. Leaves may be torn or stems may be lacerated during
installation, maintenance or by malevolence. These wounds become entry ports for bacterial infection.
Already sick plants are also prone. Numerous bacterial leaf spots and bacterial blights are numerous
and proliferate in humid, warm environments.



Answer to Question 2

In order to avoid disease, plant people should understand the classic theory of the disease triangle.
First, in order for disease to grow, there must be a host; in the case of working in interior plantscaping,
a plant. The second part of the disease triangle is the pathogen. Third, the right environmental
conditions cause plant diseases to flourish. For the most part, it has to do with water, making moisture
available to the pathogen to grow, but this is certainly not the only factor.
