Ben:

I have the other symptoms. Die back and dropping leaves on a tree that was
in a florida field (in its pot) a month ago.

Yes, it could also be the chang in light, watering, etc. But, back to your
query, I agree. The bark is too rough. That was my point.

Might not be scale you have on you bougie. I had a
plant with scale right next to my bougie unknowingly
for about half a year. No scale ever got on the
bougie, while the other plant almost died. They
weren't touching though. Would scale be on a
bourgie's bark? I would think it near impossible to
find it there if it was since my bourgie's bark is so
rough. But it is easy enough to spot if it were to
get on the leaves.

Since it's Bonide systemic Houseplant control
(That's as close as I can find
to a label for indoor use) I'll give it a go.

Ever try to find little bumps (scale) on a bougie by
feel?

Thanks, Nina.
