My african violet has some strange white stuff on it.?

The white stuff is cotton-y, almost web-like. I think they're bugs. So far I have removed it with cotton swabs and tissues, but it's back again. Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it permanently. I have raised African Violets for over 10 years and I've never seen this before. Also, currently I have 3 right next to each other and only one plant has this.

Are all three plants in the same kind of pots? I had the same problem and from what you are describing I think you may have the same problem, the guy at the store told me that it is a kind if mold that grows because water stagnates.



Not much of a green thumb but I think we had the same problem.

Reply:this is a bug, i can't remember the name

dab a q-tip in alcohol and wipe the plant

as soon as you touch it you will see the bug

turn beige/tan colored, try to stay on top of

this before it gets on any others, isolate the

affected plants, this bug sometimes gets in

the roots
