| Hi Jay,
Scale insects appear as hard-shelled elliptical brownish-white bumps attached
to leaves and stems. They can be on the flowers and pseudobulbs as well.
From your description, it could be Mealybugs. These are oval, cottony insects
with hairy protrusions which could be your description of fuzzy. Use a cotton
swab dipped in 70 percent denatured alcohol to remove either one and keep
an eye on the plant. If you see more, than you'll have to use an insecticial
soap or horticultural oil weekly for several weeks. |
