Default Re: Adelae needs help!

D. adelae grows much better in shallow wet conditions for me, even submerged in a few inches of water. Scale and mealybug are very difficult to eradicate, I suspect that some may be lurking in the root area and in the hard to get tight spots between the petiole and the stem as well. I hope you get them under control, and they haven't yet spread to your other CPs. I once had a Ceph that had a reoccurring infestation, and finally I gave it some powerful insecticide, which killed the plant as well. - Rich
