Ficus Problem


Question
All the new growth leaves close up and have bugs or spots on them.  What do I do?

Answer
Hi Dale, you need to treat it with a Horticultural Oil or an Insecticidal soap; if it isn't too bad, then you can get away with spraying the effected area with household Isopropyl Alcohol. Whichever you use, let it sit overnight and then the next morning take it outside and spray it down to remove all the dead insects and the residual product that you chose to use. Nick
