I would also suggest you mix up some dish soap and rubbing alcohol with some water and spray it on the plant. I can see some white fuzzy stuff that looks like you have more bugs. Generic dish soap with no hand softening or bleach additives...something cheap will work fine. Retreat every four or five days to kill any newly hatching. And I sometimes pour whatever mix is left through the pot to kill any hiding down in the bark/spag. Good luck...the bugs are tough this year. Even my favorite nurseries are having trouble controlling them this year.

Hi Connie -
The white you see on the leaves are stains from water. We have very hard water here - and in the nursery the misting sometimes leaves marks like that - so that is not a problem, thank goodness!


Thank you for the advice at any rate - i will do this if i see any signs of trouble!
