| Webby
Yesterday morning I was examing my Paph up close and thought I saw a mealie. Closer inspection showed just a little webby spot not moving. I wiped it off. It was white but webby, very minute. I found a few more on the other leaves all the same. Can someone give me a hint as to what this could be  I haven't found anymore this morning.Terry  |

You cant always see mealies moving and they sometimes produce a silky fluff ball. On the other hand it could just be some fluff that got stuck to your plants. I would treat it like bugs just to be safe.

A picture would sure help. Dabbing the spots with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol will keep them under control if that's the case.

Hi Terry. Could be mealy bugs, sometimes they seem to make a web over them self, maybe a nest or were they lay their eggs perhaps. As the others have suggested clean up with rubbing alcohol. As for a major infestation I have found "Confidor" spared at full streanght will clean them up and it is fairly safe to humans! Best of luck with them Cheerio Ron |
