Bob, La Puce and K... Thank you..

Just been out to the yard (re-potting the prickly buggers as we speak...)
and discovered beautiful brown scale insects hiding under their waxy coats
underneath the leaves and above the sooty mould.

Now... La Puce's link mentioned Provado as a systemic control. Off to find
some (or similar as we're commercial and I still have a whole lot to learn,
as you can tell )
