What is the fuzzy grey growth on my plants?

Grey fuzzy coating is Botrytis cinerea (grey mould), triggered by cool humid conditions during Indian winters and monsoon. Remove and bin affected parts immediately. Improve airflow, reduce humidity around pots, and spray copper fungicide. Avoid overhead watering. Grey mould spreads rapidly on dead or damaged plant tissue.
