Scale Insects on Umbrella Plant: Sticky Leaves Solution

Scale Insects on Umbrella Plant: Sticky Leaves Solution

Sticky leaves dripping onto floors indicate scale insects—small, bump-like pests on leaf undersides and stems that excrete honeydew. Treat with neem oil spray (per label) every other day for two weeks to catch hatching crawlers. Move the plant outdoors (above 50°F) during treatment for better light and air flow. Persistence is key; one spray won’t eradicate them.
