Wendy starts with ... I have a coffee plant but there is something on the leaves and stems - white, furry appearance in 'lumps' Leaves are drying on ends. It is grown in a pot in a window position but not in direct sunlight or draft. Any suggestions on how to make into a healthier plant?

rachel says... Hi Wendy I wonder if this is a similar thing to what I've got on my coffee seedlings? There are brown spots on the leaves and something that looks sort of like cobweb.. I 'll put some photos up soon. I've come across the description of a coffee disease which sounds similar, but no success with treatments, apart from "use an appropriate fungicidal". The disease is called "Rhizoctonia" or "Root-Rot". | About the Author rachel sydney 3rd June 2011 11:33pm #UserID: 5347 Posts: 5 View All rachel's Edible Fruit Trees |

Nick says... The white, furry "lumps" might be mealybugs which I got on my coffee plants. One or more sprays of pyrethrum seemed to do the trick. As for the drying leaves I think I might have the same problem haha. The first pic is mealybugs while the others are my plants.

rachel says... Hey Nick I found two of the leaves were stuck together & when I pulled them apart there was this cobweb-like stuff on them, and that yellowy thing on the leaf bottom looks like the larvae for some bug - it wasn't very happy about being disturbed. Are yours similar? R

A.C says... Id love to know what kind of soil you have it growing in and do you use any manures or fertilizers on it?As for the photo of furry white its looks like fungal spores of some type.That browning on tips could be,waterlogging or salt burns from water or fertilizer/manure use.If its in potting mix it better have enough fine sand to speed up drying out/give it the free draining property it needs.Soggy soils for subtropicals= bad news. | About the Author AC1 Cowandilla,S.A 6th August 2014 1:17pm #UserID: 8055 Posts: 103 View All AC1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Markmelb says... It looks to me like Aphid - Woolly Aphid as well as mite webs etc do they jump when touched? take outside on a cloudy day and white oil / Eco oil type spray -- let drip and bring in -- in next day or 2 wash down with a hose spray not to hard -- this basically happens as they are indoors and no airflow. | About the Author Markmelb MOUNT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 10th July 2016 10:50am #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |
