I've cut this plant back so many times. Threw the soil away. Applied arber bio fungicide and somehow it keeps getting powdery mildew. I have moved it to different rooms. This one propogated in water lasted the longest without getting it.
I don't spray my plants. It's away from humidity and drafts.

If you don’t mind my asking, do you have a pic of the pm?
I don’t see any
Can we see the PM? I don’t see any on this plant. Once a plant has PM it is almost impossible to eradicate it. You can prevent it on a plant but powdery mildew is IN the plant so unless you keep it in a very dry area and use preventative at least every 5-7 days it will always come back. Your best bet would be to prop it, once it has grown enough to prop it again do it while still using a preventative. Then once it has grown enough to prop it do it again and again until you have a plant hopefully that the new growth you cut to prop didn’t have the PM yet. I’ve tried EVERYTHING with my zinnias and nothing ever gets rid of it but if I treat before I see it I can usually prevent it.
Copper+extreme drought+ airflow
it’s kind of a never ending battle once it sets in tho good luck !
