How do they look?

Eugene, OR

These are the cuttings KaperC gave me in May. A couple of leaves are slightly deformed. But hey, it's a tropical growing in Oregon. I think one of them is getting little white bugs, need a closer look, is there anything I can use on them? Or is it better to let be. I use alcohol or insecticidal soap on my orchids, but don't want to try anything on such tender plants without advice.

KaperC...forgot to tell you, I entered your BD present in the fair last week.

i think that if a soap is gentle enough for an orchiid, then it is definitely gentle enough for a plumeria

Yes, Safer's insecticidal soap works well for me. Neem is also good if you don't use it in direct sunlight.

Happy Birthday, Kathleen!

Thanks Clare, I have Neem also. I should have taken a better picture. I keep watching but don't see anything that but leaves so far. :-( I'm being much too impatient I think. We don't get the strong heat like other places.

I don't think sis is listening. Her BD present might win a ribbon and she won't even know.
