Hi all.
This morning I was watering my plants and noticed a small white, round, hairy insect that could be a pest on my nep. It sat on the top of the leave but more to the inner side so when I tried to pick it off with a tweezers it ran back to the centre of the plant and from there on I couldn't see it anymore. There is some white fluff on the inner, upper leaf and while reading all the posts in this group I'm convinced it's either mealy bugs or aphids but I'm not to sure.
Should I be concerned? Another thing is that being from South Africa, Western Cape it's tough finding most of the products listed in the groups. Could anyone help maybe with what I could use to treat my plants and how to treat them if the problem gets bigger. I would rather give a light spray now with a acceptable chemical than waiting for damage to appear. Please help.
