Damnit. I got pests on my fukien tea. Grrreat. I just noticed them. They are pretty small. They are white, but one is white outer with a orangish middle.
I have noticed sticky white cottonballs in middle of branches, and damn there is a lot of sticky stuff, as you can see in the picture. (Which is suggestive of scales?)
Wow, I feel like I have bugs crawling over me right now. I checked my other 2 bonsai I have next to it, and I don't see anything. They aren't touching, but they were. I hope they haven't migrated over. I will keep a lookout for them.
Anyway, is it aphids or scale? (Or even mealy bugs?) I read scale can be white, but so can aphids. I'm assuming it is one of the two from what I've read.
Best pic I could get because my ipad wouldn't focus that close. It is the white blot in the middle of the leaf. There is also another one right on the end of the little twig, but ya can't see it in the pic.
