Usually I rely on q-tips, rubbing alcohol, and persistence to get rid of scale. I'm usually worried about leaving alcohol residue on the plant, so I wash it afterwards with clean water. Does anyone know if that's necessary, or does the alcohol just evaporate off and not do damage?

dear Ladyslipper and others with scale problems: I had scale on the majority of my Bromeliads, and, was frustrated by trying several things that did not work. At last, I spoke to a local orchid grower from Chapman's Orchids here in central florida, and he recommended a product called Orchid Pro. Long story short, I eventually got so fed up that I went ahead and tried it, and it was a godsend. After about 10 days I noticed a big difference, and after about 2 months, my scale problem was solved, has never returned, and my orchids, bromeliads, and roses have never looked better.
If you are looking for something to try, and I can tell you it worked for me, use it. They only sell it in commercial quantities, except for on their website, where you can buy it by the quart or gallon. TurfPro USA - Home I hope it helps you like it did me.

Hi Bob. I am really not very good at running my computer for anything other than email. I just read your post, and went to the website, and it seemed to work fine for me. I maybe gave you the wrong address earlier, and, so, I am sorry if I did. It is TurfPro USA - Home you can find the Orchid Pro product in the online store. Hope this helps.
