My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Orange lines on ZZ plant

7 years ago


Hi, I notices today some lines on one stem of my ZZ plant. Only one of the stems and these yellow/ orange lines do not go all the way around the stem. I could easily peel one off with my nail. These things signify to me that it might be a pest. I've looked online and can't identify it. If you know if it's a pest/ what type/ how to deal with it I would love the advice.

Thank you

    I'm afraid it's almost possible to see anything in those pictures. Can you get some more in focus? What I can just about make out on the stem in your hand looks like natural stem texture.
