Re: Neomarica pests

 

Hi Dennis,

Can't resist asking a couple questions.  Is the "dust" white or waxy?  How large are the 'large dust particles'; are we talking about the size of finely ground pepper or grains of rice?  Spider mites and mealybugs come to mind, but the former is much smaller.  Both will attack almost any kind of plant.

Tonight I noticed lots and lots of white "dust" on my Neomarica leaves.  Some of the large dust particles have legs and crawls.  I don't have good enough lighting to figure out what it is.... and the internet claims this plant has no pests.  So I wanted to go fishing into your guys collective knowledge to figure out what I might have.  I'll look more carefully tomorrow in the daylight.  Perhaps try to take some pics.
