Hi Everyone--
I have a large clump of Cephalotus growing on my balcony in the fog belt
of San Francisco. The summer temps have been on the mild to cool side
for the most part. I've noticed over the past few weeks that a powdery
residue on the leaves has spread from leaf to leaf (none on the pitcher
leaves.) For a while, they were infested with scale, but after a
treatment of Orthene, the scale has disappeared. I mention this because
the white fluff looks like the residue that scale leaves. However, the
residue is on parts of the leaves that had no scale, which seemed to
favor the petioles. The fluff is on the topsides of the vegetative leaf
blades. Does anyone have any ideas of what this might be, and how to
treat it?
