Message: [QUOTE="greenophile, post: 101449, member: 4808"] Hello, I have a problem with my croton. On the lower leaves, there are some white dusty patches (powdery mildew?). How do I take care of this? When I went to water my croton today, I see tiny littlebugs crawling in the soil. There was also a black fly looking thing flying around the croton as well as my split leaf philodendron. How do I get rid of them? I examined the split leaf soil further and found that the wood chips were completely white with clear little ball things on them (eggs??). I removed them and I just want to repot all my plants. I examined some of my other plants (chamadorea elegans and the dracaena), there were also these tiny little bugs in the soil. what in the world are they?? should i just repot all of my plants? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
