I have a gardenia that is prone to white fly and when I see it I use an insecticidal soap on it. I spray in the morning or after the sun goes down. I also make sure I get the underside of the leaves. I would spray it again in a week. 2 or 3 cycles of the gets rid of them. I've never seen black scaly stuff, so are you sure that it is white fly? Good luck.

banafkgator,

White fly is just that.. I lays white eggs on the leaves..Underside and the leave will turn brown , fill with holes and wont leave.

Black is something else.

Could be Sooty Mold caused by aphids or other type insects. This website for Ohio State University has all the info you'll need... Sooty Mold.
