So, my jasmine that I was oh so happy about only hours ago is buggy. [Mad] Lizheaemma thinks it may be mealy bugs but we're not sure. I found a teeny-tiny little brown moving speck on the underside of a leaf. (yuck!) And I thought I checked it so well in the store! Anyways, I guess the leaves aren't as smooth as they are supposed to be either, they are kinda crinkled. So, my question, is it worth fighting? Or should I just bring it back to the store? It smells so wonderful, but I'm a bug-a-phobic, and I cringe at the thought of my other plants getting bugs. Advice?

Sherri,
Is this plant a house plant??
Should I switch it to the house plant section???
So, the ones that frequent there can help???

Just curious!!
Let me know, I'll move it or one of the
forum hostesses will move it...............

Thankyou but don't worry about it. The jasmine is gone. Lizheaemma looked at the leaves and said it look like it was a seriously troubled plant from the start so, I just took it back to the store, I really didn't want an infestation of any kind. [Razz]
