HYDRANGEA PEST PROBLEMS
I have been selling some hydrangea plants, some of which have had small white woolly blobs attached under the leaves - these have been pointed out to buyers. I have now found out what this insect problem is - it is called PULVINARIA HYDRANGEAE (Cottony Hydrangea Scale) this is the juvenile stage of the scale. It can be controlled/eradicated by spraying with Yates CONFIDOR or Kiwi Care INSECT HIT. Both of these sprays are what are called 'systemic' - the spray is absorbed by the plant and the problem insect absorbs it when it sucks on the plant, thereby killing it.
PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OF USE CAREFULLY.
These products can be used on other plants for similar problems like those found on Phormium types (flax)
Full information on these products and the insect pests can be found online .

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
