Do You Have Scales On Your House Plants?…I Found The Cure!

New Update.
In the past I’ve bought treatments at the nursery, having asked their advice; there was none. It seemed all was hopeless. The nasty little guys start in the soil so I’ve pulled my plants out of their pots, thrown the soil away, washed the roots and re-planted: didn’t help. I’ve gently rubbed the scales off both sides of each leaf and stems; EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR! It didn’t even slow them down.
I heard heavy oil might help but it didn’t get rid of all the scales. I could just imagine my large plants dripping crude oil on my head and my two cats, them spreading the goodness. I used molasses instead; it being thick but easier to clean up. This helped, some.
Now I have the cure! Spray window cleaner on your affected plants. This doesn’t hurt them but instantly kills and dries up the scales and it cleans the molasses off the windows. I started this treatment last year about this time and the scales are virtually gone; the plants needing only occasional touch ups.nancymauerman.com
