right,
it is the same cacti, i have removed most of the scaley stuff to reveal that the plant undrneath is looking a bit yellow.
i also got a couple of shots of the bugs that i think may be causing this stuff. if anybody knows what they are and if you know of any natural way to kill them i would appreciate if you could tell me.
if not then i will probably use some insectacides, probably rogor.
any thoghys will be appreciated

| Gidday Ed, Looks like some of the bugs are scale. Either way, it looks like natureal or hand methods might not be enough. I'd water the plant with a mix of Rogor. This systemic should do the trick. Also another good thing I do, is when I repot my plants, I include some of David Gray & Co "Systemic Insecticide Granules". This systemic insecticide is granulated and is good in the mix and gives a few months protection. |

| Hi Edzo. Be sure to follow the safety directions carefully when you use Rogor. You need to dress up almost as for chemical warfare. It is dangerous stuff if used incorrectly. Regards Didge. |
