Default Re: My plants are infected

Is there any small,black coloured disc shape under or some times on top of the leaf surface?Looks like a scale insect infection to me.
Because i don't like to use any chemical product on my plants,i stay away from insecticide.My natural method is just to drown the pest literally in a pail of water.You just need to soak the infected plant whole in a water.Leave it for about 12hours,then try to dislodge one of the scale.if the scale can be easily remove then the pest is dead.If not,then the pest is not dead yet.Try drowning it again for 6hours

IMPORTANT:do not soak the plant for more then 24hours or you risk killing the plants to...

once the pest are dead,remove the worst ***aged leaf and all of the scale.Your plant will look ugly after the treatment but it will recover if the pest do not infect the plant again.
