# My elephant bush bonsai has these weird spots, the leaves are slowly…

_Posted by Ada on 2023-09-12_

My elephant bush bonsai has these weird spots, the leaves are slowly shriveling up and falling which makes me think scales (or some other kind of bug like pest) but I don’t know what to look for to be sure. Nor how best to treat it.

Any ideas?

Ps she’s still producing new leaves.
