    Default Lions, tiger, and bears? No croton scale, mealy bud, now whitefly.

    This is the first infestation of spiral whitefly I have seen on my crotons....ever. I am battling it on virtually every palm in my collection, and now it's jumping to crotons. I venture to say, it will be on every broad leafed plant in time. My neighbor has seen it on his heliconia, cordyline, philodendron, and even bromeliads.

    I have just ordered a huge shipment of green lacewing, a natural predator. I hope that those guys will take care of it.

    Have you seen whitefly on your crotons or palms yet??
