  [Aroid-l] Pests on amorphophallus
From: David <onimua at gmail.com> on 2011.02.03 at 07:56:11

Hi folks,

Since winter has been rough I've been keeping plants inside. They've been doing well however except for one plant that seems to have been struck with an outbreak of a pest I'm unfamiliar with, and seems visibly effected (though the leaf has bent over, it's not actually limp), and the leaflets never opened fully which I think is related to whatever these little things are.

The other plants in the room have a few of them but none of them are as=C2=A0afflicted=C2=A0with it as this one. Can anyone tell me what they are and most importantly, the best way to get rid of them? I'm unsure of what methods I should use as I've got a variety of aroids and don't want to spray something that could harm them.

I've attached a couple of pictures that should be good enough to help identify them (the brownish/black specs on the petiole).

Best Regards,
David
