Here is what is happening to my clivia. It looks like some sort of pest to me. What do you think it is and how do I get rid of it? The picture is a litte fuzzy because I could not find my tripod but if you need a more detailed shot, I will search for it.
Thanks,
Jesse
Not sure sorry. Is the plant inside ? Might want to take it away from other plants until you can find out.
I moved it out of the greenhouse so that whatever it is cannot infect the rest of my plants. Hopefully I can find out what this is and save my plant.

I don't know very much about bugs...are these spots the only problem for the plant? Does it have other signs of trouble; stunted growth, mushy crown, etc? Sometimes water drops on leaves can magnify the light and burn spots on the leaves of an otherwise healthy plant.
That's my 2 cents worth...

Here is the address to the link that I originally posted on the lily forum. It has photos of the whole plant and shows big brown spots on it. http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/648761/ I think that maybe that was from it getting scorched from the sun but the little specks I think are some kind of bugs, I just don't know what kind. If anyone has any ideas at all, please let me know. I really don't want to lose this plant.
Thanks,
Jesse
Oh Jesse your plant is beautiful ! Hope you can save it. The pictures back awhile ago on other forum look one like burn marks or the ring fungus that there is no cure and can trans-plant to other plants. Can you lighten up the picture please hard to tell.
I think the big spots were scorch marks but the little yellow things look like aphids to me. I looked them up in my plant book and they look just like aphids. So I'm going to hose it down really well today and then use some alcohol on a q-tip to get the rest off. I will watch it very closely and see if maybe that gets rid of them. I have it outside of the greenhouse so that it cannot infect the rest of my plants. I really hope I can save it. It was so pretty when it bloomed this past spring/summer. If anyone knows what else I can do to get rid of aphids, I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks,
Jesse
Jesse watch out for overwatering. These plants like it a bit dry.
