Brace yourself, this is gross- White fly- SON OF A GU!!!!

[DirtyCoconuts]

so i garden a lot at night. as a result i wear a headlamp and have a very narrow scope of vision as i move about.

last couple of days i notice that the leaves of some of my Catesteums were dirty. i rubbed them gently and they got a bit cleaner and i figured the roof was really dirty and i should maybe pressure wash it. I went last night to peek at the roof and, lets just say i found the problem before i got on the roof.

this is the palm tree above them. UGH.


so the need to go and the plants need to be cleaned...any tips


i was going to make a sprayer of ISO and a bit of Palmolive and use that for the flies....plain soapy water for the leaves?

here are the dirty plants...it is gross, not for the squeamish
