ACID ORANGE : COTTONY LEAVES

Oh no....
My acid orange or calamondine (Citrofortunella mitis) looks so poor.


This plant was neglected for several time.
And now... the leaves look blackish on the up side, but we could find thin 'cotton' on the bottom side.







And on the fruit's stalk too...


This is a really annoying bug.
This bug have killed some of my fruit's plants for past three years.
I have loosen four plants this year.
So, I have to looking for the substitute.
Hunting some new plants is a must.
Giving more attention on to my plant collection may give better result.
I wish...

    Salam Endah,

    Saya pula pokok cili yang jadi begini. Penuh di bawah daunnya itu tompok-tompok putih sebegitu.

      Salam Honey.
      Ya, betul tanaman cabe saya juga sering terkena hama ini, dan tak lama kemudian mati.

    Is that some kind of mildew growing or did a bug do it? Haven't seen anything like that.

      I think so, I find little white flies among the 'cotton'. That's a serious problem for my crops.

      Yeah... I have sprayed soapy water on to the leaves, but it didn't work.
