Whiteish Greyish Gerbera Leaves

[hamsterhead]

Good Afternoon

I have a Gerbera which is showing a whiteish, greyish powerdery stuff on some of its leaves, its also making the affected leaves brittle. This has happened before but I couldn't find the problem so took off the leaves which have no grown back and showing the same syptoms. The plant itself is situated on the kitchen window sill so could this be the problem.

All advice and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Sounds like powdery mildew - link here Controlling and Preventing Powdery Mildew on Plants As you say the plant is on the kitchen windowsill I would think not enough air circulation, and quite humid.

Thank you. I didn't realise that indoor plants were as susceptible and outdoor one.
