Hi, folks!

I grow Adeniums, way too many. I have a dreadful problem that has turned into an epidemic. What to do to control scale? They cause nasty swelling on leaves and new stem growth. Adeniums are fussy in that they dislike any kind of soap. Photos below--- Any suggestions appreciated. Hand picking isn't an option, as there are at least 40 plants affected. And no systemics, as I have honeybees.

(((( I left here to go to All Things Plants, but they recently got rid of me without any notification, pffft the communists! I truly don't know who I offended or how. So I'm back here, paid my years' subscription.))))
