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.

Powdery insect problem

6 years ago

Hello, This indoor bamboo palm has a recurring problem with white powder growing on it. Spraying the plant down with a blast of water removes it easily, but it comes back quickly. Insecticidal soap doesn't kill it. Does anyone know how to manage this problem?
