Hi Paul,
Thanks- thats good to know but mine were the original ones, luckily.
Its seriously smelly worse than malathion, I treated on the Monday & it still smelt on the Friday.

A handy tool in the battle against smaller bugs. Gives you both hands free.

It’s an eye loupe holder.

I have used it Tina and watered 10-14days after.. It cleared 99.5% of root mealie the first time I used it.
So I would think you could water after 10 days, especially since your plants will have roots to take it up.
The manufacturers stated that it should be working for 6 weeks, so don't think it willwash out.
It definitely has a potent smell, but worth using ( for those that still have some.)

Re: selenicereus anthonyanus

2 years after receiving these Selenicerous as stem cuttings they rooted and are growing. Ever since having them these blisters appeared, whether grown indoors, out last summer or in greenhouse. They have been treated with systemics several times and sprayed with plant invigorator. Hard to scrape off without taking lots of plant tissue.
It doesnt look like rsm scars or the types of scale Ive encountered to date. Any ideas ? Thankyou
