What type of pest is on my plant?
I just noticed this on one of my plants. What is it? #PlantAddict #PestControl #help
Do you see webs or just bugs? It might be mealies. Hose that thing down outside if you can, then insecticidal soap. I took a screen shot of this insecticidal soap yesterday that someone else posted. Donβt forget to isolate it from your other plants and thoroughly clean the area where this plant normally lives.
@tatortot38 I just got my first Piper delivered today. Yes, I ordered on impulse and did lots of research on it. I believe those are the crystals that form on the underside of this plant (Crocatumβs sp. w/red underside leaves especially). They are naturally occurring and no problem. Feel them they are firm crystals. I havenβt dealt with mites, but I imagine their texture is softer.
