plantlover Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 My S. purpurea and D. intermedia is infected with mealybugs. What should I do to get rid of those annoying pests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyinsuffolk Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Malathion - never fails!!! Make sure though that you allow the insecticide to get right down under the the folds on the rhizome. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Or imidacloprid as an alternative if malathion is banned, as it is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
