Hi All,
so last week i noticed little whit specs on a flowering hibiscus.......the pic i had was pretty clear ( ill try to find that pic and post it again ) most people said it looked like aphids and to remove that section or treat with warm soapy water. So i removed the bud. But now i noticed another little collection on a new hibiscus bud, but when i was looking closely and staring for 5 straight minutes, i was suprised to see one of the specs slowly moving. :eek::eek: it looks like a super small white mite. My cham has been totally normal and i dont see any on him at all. It seems they only hang out near a budding hibiscus flower. Please tell me what to do!!!!:confused::confused: Any info on these little buggers would be helpful. And are they harmful to people in any way, etc. Thanks so much for the help
 
Thanks, i read your thread. Did anyone mention if mealy bugs are harmful in any other way or to people. ( i have a few kids ) I can remove the plants, but it took s long forthese hibiscus to grow their indoor leaves, so it would be a major let down. I might just replaace with fake stuff.
