Identifying Soil Beetle Pests Agriculture And Food
I'm thinking either 1 the soil i used to repot was contaminated, or 2 I didn't soak the rest of the fiddle leaf in neem oil or wash off the trunk/stem/leaves, I only soaked the ball of roots, so it's possible a few bugs were hiding somewhere on the plant Mealybugs Mealybugs don't draw much attention, as the pests are only 3/16 inch long and move very slowly The honeydew they excrete supports sooty mold growth When enough sooty mold accumulates on foliage, it can reduce photosynthesis, weakening the plant and making it even more susceptible to garden pests 5
