Hi,
New to the board. Been growing CPs for a long time here near Chepstow in the UK. I have a Meixcan Ping. It's probably a very common species, large leaves, purple flowers and purchased from a garden centre year ago. Sits on the windows sill in the kitchen and has done well. Other than rainwater, it gets no special treatent.
A couple of weeks ago, it started to look pretty sick - leaves gpoing very pale and shrinking back. I had a proper look and it's covered in what look to me like White Fly or at least, somethign similar. I know members of this genus are rather intolerant of pesticides so m obvioous question is what CAN I do about it? It's nothing secial but I've had it a long time and I'd like to save it, if I can.
Best wishes....and Happy New Year,
Denis
