spotted hydrangea

15 years ago

Hi all,

I returned home after several weeks to find one of my hydrangeas (which is in a pot) covered with white spots (only the leaves) - they are a bit raised ---- what (or who!!!_ is this? would appreciate any ideas and/or advice.

Many thanks in advance,

Dory

Does it come off if you water the leaves? Have you tried removing them with your hand (you may want to use gloves until you know what that is)?

Sorry. I left out the last question... do you notice movement? I was thinking that it could a form of scale (cottony maple leaf scale) that is treatable using Bayer with an active ingredient called Imidicloprid.

well, so far i haven't noticed any movement but I will take a very close look tomorrow - .. and the pics I posted were after a brisk rinse with the hose - perhaps a few came off but that's it. meanwhile, thanks for the ideas.

Not scale.

I believe this thread was elsewhere. Perhaps spray damage of some sort which killed small islands of tissue. Leave the plant be. Keep all leaves.
