weird dots on crown of thorns

[ms linda]

I have a very large, very old crown of thorns in an outside planter. It has done well for a long time then all of the sudden leaves turned yellow and fell off. On inspection I found tiny white dots w/black centers . They looked like tiny dirty burst bubbles. Now I'm starting to see them on other crown of thorns but so far not on the 20 or so different kinds of plants that are in close proximity. What is it and how do I get rid of it ??

Welcome to the forum @ms linda It would be a great help if you could put a photo on so we can see what the problem might be.
Is your ''crown of thorns'' a Euphorbia Milii?

That sounds right Euphorbia Milii I think, I can take a pic on Monday. I do most of my gardening at work

When you're typing out the reply, there should be an "attach files" button underneath the text editor. If you click that, you should be able to browse for a photo on your phone to attach to the post . Give it a try and if you have any problems, I'll do my best to help!

TY I tried :\ but it seems I need to put the photo somewhere in order to access it so I can attach it :O I'm very confused !!

 

[Tetters]

I haven`t got a clue here, but can you send a photo from your phone to your laptop/computer?
As an afterthought, have you got an ordinary camera that will upload pictures to your computer?
