Soon after being treated for mealy bugs, a double whammy happens, galls started to appear on the stems, not the roots, and have now have slowly killed off half the branches. My question is, what should i do? Is there something to treat them with, or should i just toss them, and buy new ones? Or does this thing transmit through soil? help please

Can you post a picture? I've never seen galls on Pentas, I usually see them on oaks where they really don't do any damage, so I wonder if that's really what you have or if it's something else, maybe scale?
