Re: Scale on orchids

Andrea, the Bayer product that we have talked about is supposed to kill scale as well as other sucking insects. This is the one with the same active ingredient as in flea markets...imidicloriprid (sp).

Subject: [CHAT] Scale on orchids


are seriously irritating me. I've been scraping them off by hand, but
more keep coming. For those of you who are orchid growers, how do you
treat scale on them? I am terrified of harming my orchids, some are
fairly young and I'm still new at this. It's not just one species
either. They're on all my orchids. Except for the Vanda. It's doing
great.

Help!
