House Plant Problem

[gessoo]

I have a thick, very sticky white substance on some of my conservatory plants. I presume it is from an insect as it doesn't look like mould. I have sprayed it with insecticide but nothing shifts it. Any ideas welcome. Should I get rid of the plants?

[Robinia]

Vinny that breeze is a long time getting here...looks like you've had more cloud & manageable temps today...

shaney what a lovely pic - using it as my desktop to make me feel cool when I switch on. I'd have given anything to be able to get a lungful of that air today & a paddle with me flowery skirt tucked in me bloomers....

Evening Biddies - Congratulations Robinia sorry I missed the big day , good wishes to the family. Hope you are feeling better. Hope everyone is all, I am fine, just too lazy to get on here at present - weather flaming hot again and today I went in the pool, it was lovely. I'll be back soon - love to you all esp Dolly in Oz.

[Robinia]

Hi neti (& Vinny) & thanks - hope you're feeling better too. I used to cope with heat quite well but this has been too much with not feeling well. My voice sounds like Johnny Vegas....I might wake up looking like him :o)

All my plants in the front garden have scorched. Most were new last yr after having it gravelled & were doing really well...if I have to replant I'll put bloomin' cacti in....

oooh think there might be a storm-a-comin....

[Jude123]

Hello All I hope this works. Been to see The Midnight Pumpkin Trucks tonight. Brilliant night but to hot to let out hair down and dance all night.

Been very lazy this weekend watching footie and sunbathing. Didn't even do a hot dinner today so Dad had to do with one out of the freezer.

Goodnight now see you tomorrow! xx

[Jude123]

Hooray it works at last!!!!!

[Robinia]

morning all, bit early but I've been awake since 5....at least I got 5hrs sleep tho'.
After those 2 weeks in Biddycamp I never thought I'd say hurray, it's raining but it is. Thunder in the distance too. Hope you didn't get washed away in the night Vinny - see you had plenty of rain in the night.
Glad you had a good night Jude - you didn't seem too happy yesterday.

do I sound sexy...? no, probably not :o)

[gessoo]

Please, please send us the rain. I am dying of heat exhaustion and have been awake since 2.30am.......................................................

Hi all ,I hope you weren't skinny-dipping when you were in the pool neti ! My better half and I are thinking of coming over for a holiday soon (not sure of the date as yet ) so hang on to that hot weather for us !!! Yes it is Winter here now a beautiful if somewhat chilly in the evenings kind of weather . Queens Birthday holiday today and a lovely day .Still no rain unfortunately. Plants dying ,grass dead and now we can only use buckets filled from a tap(not a hose) to water our gardens ,too old for that so may end up with no garden!
