KALANCHOE INSECT PROBLEMS
Mealybugs look like white puffs of cotton. They suck
plant juices and heavy infestations will coat the leaves
with sticky honeydew. Use house plant insect sprays
according to label directions.
Aphids suck plant juices and are usually found at the stem
tips. A heavy infestation will coat the leaves with
sticky honeydew. A black, sooty mold can grow on the
honeydew. The insects can be green, white, pink or black.
