Not sure how that happened. Once I got into reading the older blog post re: ice, I remembered reading it before but it had faded to a vague recollection. Thanks for sending me back. It was an entertaining and useful post. Useful far beyond just Anthuriums.

Thought of PATSP immediately. Two orange and the rest rest. I looked at the plant tag and no cultivar name, so I guess they were generic.

I guess my theory is just that maybe a lot of houseplant scale has become resistant to the normal hobbyist treatments like imidacloprid<br /> since that's what EVERYONE who has houseplants uses.

In 2012 and 2013 I also had a serious problem with thrips on a number of plants.

I may have to spray them in the tub and then leave them there to drip for half an hour before spraying the next batch, or something like that. Or try doing it outside after dark.

But I'd already moved the tree outside so it's difficult to tell if the oil mix got rid of the scale, or if the scale left because there was so much more to eat in the outside world.
