G'day Ruth

Been a couple of years since I've had TB's but from memory I've got a
feeling Mealy Bugs used to attack mine and I'd wipe them off with a
cotton bud dipped in Metho. Check under the leaves and along the stems.

When I was away on an extended trip and had a friend looking after the
plants she let most die from lack of water so I replaced some as yet,
but TB's have always been a favourite.

Sorry for the delay in thanking you for your reply.

I saw a spray only to-day in Coles New World which included
Mealy Bugs - might buy it to save time!

I can't spot the little devils and they are destroying my
beautiful plants.

Thanks. Ruth.
