Re:abutilons


Barbara,

I use summer weight hort. oil which I keep a pint of pre-mixed,at the ready,
since I know that if I have to stop what I'm doing and go mix it up I will
decide to do it later,then forget it long enough for the scale to reproduce and
get really bad.
Use it at the first signs of scale.The ants will be discouraged too if the scale
isn't allowed to get bad since the ants are after the sugary secretions produced
by the scale.

To David, Moira and anyone else who grows abutilons: how do you keep the
ants->scale off them? I love abutilons but have had disappointing damage
down to them by the ant/scale combination, leading to the sooty,sticky,
black fungus on the leaves.
