What has been most effective for home gardeners treating an existing
infection.


I had some white powder on my parlor palm until recently when I added a
nickel-size portion of dish detergent to the gallon-plus watering can and
basically showered it. Rubbing the leaves free of dust etc.to allow
photosynthesis. Appears to work; be sure to rinse with clear water.

Disclaimer: also did it one time with some ground cover - looked great but
then disappeared. Could've been from chemicals, shifting sun, or lack of
water. Dunno.
