How to get rid of fungus infection in the flower plants?

In one of our flower pots there is some fungus infection in the plant and it is spread a little on the soil also. I do not want to change the soil. Can you suggest some remedy (preferably some home remedy) to get rid of this fungus?
One of my friend suggested to use turmeric powder but that did not help. Members having interest in gardening may like to advise in the matter.

You may use vinegar available in the market. This needs to be mixed with 4 litres of water using one tablespoon of vinegar. preferably apple cider vinegar. Shake the mixture thoroughly before transferring the mixture to a spray bottle. You may treat the fungus infection with the application of this mixture regularly.
The result will be visible within a week and in case you get a poor response, continue for a week further. Hope, this treatment will work.
The other alternative is cinnamon powder. Take half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder, dissolve the same in a glass of water thoroughly and pour the same inside the root of the plant. If such a treatment is done for a couple of days, you will notice the result within a week. Depending upon the condition, this can be extended a few more days. It does not harm the seedings or the soil while killing the fungus growth.

There are many home remedies for this. Once in our house for one plant, my wife noticed this problem. One of her friends suggested using baking soda. Take around 3,75 litres of water and one tablespoon of baking soda powder. Add about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Take it in a spray bottle and spray it on the affected plant. You can spry this two times in a week and see the effect. My wife used this mixture for a week and the result is very positive.
I have not used but my friend suggested using milk spray for this problem. Mix 100ml of milk with about a litre of water. This will change the pH value of the soil and prevent fungus formation. It can be used on other plants also so that this will not spread to other plants.
Neem oil is very useful for this. You can mix neem oil and water in 1: 9 or 1: 10 ratio and spray it on the plants that are having this problem. You spray it every day for one week. You will notice good improvement and the results will also be very encouraging.

Even I have noticed these white colored bugs multiple times and they cause stunted leaves. I have tried detergent water, which worked for some time but these bugs returned again. Usually, this problem occurs in flowering plants when there is not much rain for a long time. Once the rain arrives in full force these bugs are just washed away with the force of rain water.

Thanks and regards.

This may be an old but conventional remedy. Get cow dung cakes from nearby country medicines shop. Make into ashes by burning them (by keeping in metal bucket or waste drum if open space is not available). Let the ashes got cool. Make them into powder by hand. Spread or spray the powder (ash) on the plants over the leaves and surrounding. This will clear out the fungus infection in the flower plants as well it will not affect our hands and body as it itself a hygiene insecticide.

Thank you Umesh Sir it seems you are describing an issue that many people are facing these days. I also experienced a similar problem with one of my plants, which unfortunately ended up completely drying out and eventually dying due to white fungus. I attempted to remove the fungus multiple times, but it kept reappearing, eventually completely covering my plant. I felt quite disheartened about the situation. Despite my attempts to use anti-bacterial fertilizer and other liquid treatments, nothing seemed to have any effect. I will remember the remedies shared by other authors in case I encounter a similar issue in the future or if someone I know experiences the same problem. Thank you!
