Are they little yellow bugs? Aphids? My hoyas get aphids too but I spray them right away...I can't zoom with my phone on this website :-/

Aphids! Hate the nasty buggers.

Pretty aquarium in the back btw :)

Aphids :). Easy to get rid of!

I'd rather my Hoyas get aphids than mealies any day!!

Oh my gosh! I thought it might be scale! I was scared to death! Thank goodness they are easy to get rid of! I'm so relieved--you have no idea. I've had scale in the past and lost many plants. That was years ago, and I thought it had come back! Thank you, Klnco. I love my aquariums. That is a 20 long. I also have a 10 gallon and 55 gallon. Okay, you guys, what is your most effective treatment for aphids? I HATE using chemicals if I can avoid it.

I have one 55 gal, one 10 gal, and a Betta falls tank I just set up :)

I use Bayer Advanced Rose and Flower insect killer. It's a spray and works wonders to keep pests at bay, but it is a chemical :/

Use neem oil of just spray them off gently in the shower.

Thanks everyone. Klnco, I love bettas best of all fish. The females are my favorite. Haven't heard of a betta falls tank though. Is it a sorority?

No, not a sorority. Here's a pic:

I love sororitys! Is the 55 all females?

Love your set up! I used to have a sorority in my 55, but the entire tank came down with Microbacterium Marinum. I even got it myself! Was on antibiotics for a solid year. Had abscesses, the whole works. Not a good thing to have. I was lucky to have recovered. Now I have only one female betta, in my 20 long. I HAVE to have at least one! I miss all my little sweeties that died so much though. I used to have an elephant ear male too. Your bettas are gorgeous. Do you breed?

Frankly, I get rid of aphids on hoyas, the new growth is VERY easy. By squeezing them with my fingers, just pull them/wipe off the plant, kill as many as I can that way....no chemicals at all, I LOVE chemicals, but, aphids I HATE, this is the easiest way to kill them on the NEW growth. To make sure you kill the rest, then you CAN do the water/alcohol/soap spray. It LOOKS like a small plant, so you can turn it upside down and spray under the leaves, and NOT have it fall out of a huge pot.

It also looks like maybe it is 'Pink Silver'? I see the splashing on the leaves. I have it, it was my very first hoya, it has the prettiest aroma and nice fuzzy blooms! I don't think they can effect older growth, its to tough for them to suck the juices out of the plant

Thank you, Greenthumb. I already used the Ivory (1 tablespoon) and 1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol in one quart of water and sprayed them all thoroughly. Haven't seen any more, and I did this two days ago, but I expect I'll have to spray them again at least a few more times. I got the recipe for this mixture online since I didn't have Neem oil. I didn't know I should have used a lot more rubbing alcohol. Next time I mix it up, I'll use more.

Poohbear, yes, it is 'Pink Silver.' And I did take the aphids off with my fingers, off the new growth. It was very easy, as you said. And like you said, I didn't see any aphids anywhere but on new growth. I did rinse all the plants off in water the next day, after I had sprayed them. I'll watch to see if any return. Everyone has been so nice and helpful! Thank you!

Glad to hear you had good success. It is such a nice easy to grow/bloom variety. I hope it blooms for you, as well as it does for me. I am waiting for this year blooms to start soon. It usually blooms all year round. But it took this past 'winter' off. Haven't had blooms in 3 months now. From my Pink Silver. But my others, that I just posted, have bloomed, or are blooming. But I miss my fuzzy red/grey/pink blooms. such a nice big round cluster.
