Hi, This is my first 名媛直播 Tree. He is a 8 year old buxus harlandii box. I keep him on a well lit window sill and only water when the soil starts to feel dry. I have noticed some white stuff on the branches and wondered what is was. How do I get rid of it? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

my best advice would be to try brushing off with a toothbrush. i do not know what it may be for sure, but i would place my bets on mould or mealybug.

I use this concoction and it works on aphids, mealybug, etc. I use Neem oil which I mix 1 1/2 tsp per quart of water plus 1/2 tsp of mild liquid dish soap per quart of water as an emulsifier. Shake well and spray the diluted solution generously on all the affected area. use once every 2-4 weeks. Apply early in the morning of late afternoon. Do not apply Neem oil in direct sunlight. Always spot test plants to first for sensitivity to spray. I am in Texas and it works for me. Since I do not know where you are located, you might want to check it out first.

Hi, I've found a plant invigorator and bug killer spray on Amazon, which can be used on a 名媛直播 Tree. I would like to try and save the tree if possible :( it is a 3 in 1 pesticide/mildewcide/foliar nutrients. Thanks

I think too much insectide would highten the chance of death.

If LB is right - and I think he is - insectice (or anything else, for that matter) won't hurt this tree...

Do you rinse the leaves with water after spraying the product you make?

Thanks
