Sulphur Candle

[Noodle Doo]

Can I leave standard pot grown fuchias (10 year old plants) in my greenhouse
when using a sulphur candle to sterilize my greenhouse.

I thought those candle things had been banned? I had two that I used
last year for trying to control red spider mite but the garden centre
said they had been withdrawn, so couldn't get any more. Is a sulphur
candle not the same?

No a sulphur candle is not the same as a smoke cone that you were using.
Sulphur candles are a kill all which includes plants. However, vines/peach
trees are usually ok if they are dormant when used.
