[IBC] Azalea desease
I found many leaves like this on an Azalea I have since 9
years this is the first time I see such a stuff could someone tell me what it is a how to cure it? the leaves are dark green and specked with round paler green dots , it is not chlorosis some stains are 1 mm diameters others 3 mm diameters sometimes separated sometimes united in clusters Thanks Theo[/img] http://internetbonsaiclub.org/galler...1edbd53d3e95ba It is hard to tell from that picture, Theo. As Alan says if you can get a macro view of the leaves it will help. If the leaves are DISTORTED (raised bumps, like blisters), you may have azalea leaf gall. It is harmless. Just remove the leaves. Check the undersides. You may have scale. Use an alcohol-based pyrethrin spray, or rub them off. Or, it could simply be old leaves. Are they mostly INSIDE leaves? If so, they're last year's spring crop and will just fall off.

It is harmless. Just remove the leaves. thinks for thsi second information I found it 2 months ago on another one and immediately removed... but I did not know the words to explain it here gall =galle in french that's ok thanks Check the undersides. You may have scale. Use an alcohol-based pyrethrin spray, or rub them off. Or, it could simply be old leaves. Are they mostly INSIDE leaves?

[IBC] Azalea desease
The link wouldn't work for me for some reason, but judging by the description it could possibly be azalea lace but. Check under the leaves and if you see small "fly" type insects, whose wings look almost like lacework (and seethrough) that would be lace bug. If so you can spray with a systemic insecticide. I know Rogor is one here in Australia, you may have it over there. If not ask at a nursery. Just watch it as it is pretty potent to humans. The leaves will not recover if it's lace bug, and it may loose affected foliage, but it will come back. Good luck That's rather drastic treatment for lacebug. A soap spray or a pyrethrin spray (with or without soap) will do just as well and at a lot less risk.

heer they are teh new pics
in teh second one a smal bug is vivsible I could see only when teh pic was made not before might be it teh responsible of tehse spots no flies under the leaves http://internetbonsaiclub.org/galler...?p=11243#11243 Well, whatever it is -- and I suspect it is a sucking insect (whitefly, lacebug, etc.) damage -- you don't have a serious infection. If you see the insects, spray them (soap, pyrethrin or a combination). Otherwise, remove the leaves. The leaves look very healthy, otherwise.

The treatment I suggested will not hurt the plant, or cause foliage to drop. The foliage will drop due to the lace bug. It's just at work when our Azaleas are infected by lace bug the only treatment that seems to work is rogor (or similar/equivalent). Our Azaleas may be unlucky to get lace bug once a year max. The problem is we have used organic sprays, and were actually a test area for them, and if you did not get the spray to contact every bug reinfestation occured shortly after. Same happened with the Aphids. Then again, being a bonsai, ie small, it would be a lot easier to get all the bugs. Sorry, it wasn't something I thought of till now. For the original poster it's not lace bug, as the second link worked for me and I saw the bug. Looks to be a aphid. They could have caused the dots, that I'm not sure about. Certainly the bug is not scale, as scale are usually hidden under a coating of some sort (sometimes wax). If you really want to go organic, and this will work, introduce predatory wasps or the good ladybirds to get rid of them. You would have to buy them from somewhere in your local area. Good luck with it.
