Scale disaster! Help!!!
I have had a few kratom trees for several years now, I have a large bumblebee that’s about 6 feet tall and 2 green Malay that are about 3.5 and 4.5 feet tall. My bumblebee is great and healthy, it transitions well to the seasonal changes here in Virginia and I never have any problems with it. My Malay’s always seemed a little finicky and would go from super healthy to dropping off most of the leaves in a short time. I finally figured out that the two of them are infested with scale bugs. I have been treating them now for several weeks and they are still alive but the smaller one has no leaves left and the bigger one has very little leaves. I have been rotating between neem oil, Dr.Earth final stop spray, insecticidal soap, rubbing alcohol and have been picking the bugs off by hand. I also replaced the top 1/3 of the soil with new soil. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions I can try? I really want these to survive because I grew them from seeds so I will try anything. Thanks everybody 🙂
