Mites
Yellow mottling or bronzing of the leaves similar to lace bug damage. Significant distortion of flower and leaf buds. Fine webbing can be seen with heavy infestations.
Solution
Yates Mavrik Insect & Mite Spray - Concentrate
Mealybug
New growth appears distorted with a whitish ‘mealy’ substance in the leaf axils.
Solution
Remove small infestations with a damp cloth. For severe infestations, try Yates Conqueror Oil. Test on a small inconspicuous spot first before a more widespread spray as succulents can be quite sensitive to oil-based products.
Aphids
New leaves distorted and yellow, foliage and stems covered in sooty mould, insects crowded on young leaves and shoots.
