Whats wrong????

13 years ago

I was growing this plumeria from a cutting last summer. A storm blew it over and broke off a major stem. Then it was brought inside in the fall. What is all the little white specs..and why does one leaf always turn blackish and fall off???

Those appear to be spider mites. Are there little webs on it? Spraying with Neem oil should take care of them.

Looks like it to me too. pesky little buggers. I use neem oil to treat also.

Looks like white fly eggs and possibly spider mites too. Very common when you bring them in for the winter. Just spray it with neem oil as the others have stated or an insecticidal soap. As for the black leaves that happens on mine too when brought inside and goes away when I put them back outside when the weather warms up.

Spider mites and whitefly are the bane of my existence... those whitish things are definitely white fly sac things they hatch from...no matter how much i spray they just won't leave me and my plumies alone..... :(
