Identifying White Spots on Angel Wing Begonia

Natural Variegation or Mealybugs?

Angel wing begonias naturally have white spots on leaves and stems. Rub gently:

• If spots don't rub off → natural.
• If they smear/come off → mealybugs.

If Mealybugs

Buy Safer Soap pesticide at a garden center (not chain store). Follow label exactly.
