Pests — Botanicals

Plant parents, we got you! Spot a fuzzy, little cotton ball on your houseplant? Looks harmless enough. Unfortunately what you have most likely discovered is the powerful life force sucking plant pest Planoccoccus Citri or Citrus Mealybug. These innocent looking creatures quickly reproduce to slowly destroy, or seriously stunt the growth of your green babies. It can be frustrating and heartbreaking but you're not alone and we'll do everything we can to help!

Find scale on your plant? Have you noticed your plant looking unhealthy with dappled, spotted or misshapen leaves that just look like they are struggling? Take a closer look, do you spot any white, tan or brown armored shaped bugs clustered together? You may also notice sticky, clear droplets of 'honeydew' on the leaves around the clusters of bugs. Chances are you discovered a scale infestation. These little insects do a fair amount of damage to otherwise healthy looking plants and work fairly quickly too. But don't worry, you are in the right place, we got you and your plant! ...
