| Hi All,
I recently bought my first plumeria. I've kept it outside the whole time and I'm seeing tiny white spots at the top among the leaves. Is this an insect? I did spray with an insecticidal spray but the spots are still there. Thanks, Nancy |

| Hi Nancy, Can you post pics? I've noticed that sometimes my plumies drip sap which is white at the tips of the leaves. Are you sure they're spots that don't rub off? -Robert |

| I have rarely seen mealy bugs on mine, but if you rub at them they will come off. Insecticidal soap has little effect on them, I use rubbing alcohol and a qtip to get rid of them. Is the plant otherwise healthy looking? Tally Ho! |
