My A. scottianum has been ill. Ravaged by scale it was. I treated it with my new best friend. Safer insecticidal soap multi-purpose insect killer. I have it recovering in a small basket in sphagnum moss. And it was so happy too. The good news is it no longer seems to have scale. Im not 100% sure though, only 80% sure. Only time will tell.
