I would cut that leaf if that鈥檚 the only infected area. Check under everything. Wipe down to remove with a soft cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol. You may have to gently scrape them off. Spray with neem oil or insecticidal soap afterward to catch the small ones. Wipe down the area. Treat every week until they are gone. 馃馃崁 #### Peaches respondi贸 el 2025-06-01 I have sprayed it with both in the last 2 days. Hope I don鈥檛 kill it with treatment. This stuff is freaking me out. Thanks Sunny you know your stuff! ### VitaPhyto coment贸 el 2025-06-01 I see multiple areas of pests #### Peaches respondi贸 el 2025-06-01 Good eye. They were every where. The more leaves I cut off the more scale I saw. Not much plant left. ### VitaPhyto coment贸 el 2025-06-01 At least it鈥檚 still alive --- _La comunidad de Planta (https://getplanta.com).
