| Hi Desperation You may possibly have (or have had) an attack of ‘mealy bug’ even though you can’t see the actual insects. I haven’t experienced what you describe on any of my fuchsias but I have had something similar with Auricula’s when I used to grow these for show some years ago. The way I treated these was to remove the ‘web’ using a large artists brush (a half inch paint brush will do) dipped into methylated spirit and brushed over the web’. You need to check under the leaves whenever you are either checking for pests or treating them, you will have the best results if you actually spray up from the base of your plants and forget the spraying over the top as the foliage acts like an umbrella and sheds the moisture away from where you want it. I am not sure how large the plant is – if it isn’t too big you can always ‘dunk’ it in hand hot water for 10 seconds as described on my site – make sure that you only have the water hand hot though – I don’t want you to burn your ‘pinkies’. Come back and let us know how you get on, Tight.... |
