A co-worker has a ficus tree; apparently she's had it for a few years. It has now begun to lose a few leaves (it has not been moved from its present spot for quite some time, so that's not a problem). There's a minute white "nub" on the leaves. I wasn't sure what to spray on them, but knew you would know. I've exposed some flares & even told her to take some dirt off - very, very carefully. I'm going to bring her in some Garrett juice to water with, but isn't there something she can spray on the leaves to get rid of whatever is causing those "white nubs???"

Would appreciate your input.

Maybe spray w/garlic pepper tea, instructions are in the info area of the website. If there's no pests, it won't hurt the plant.

Thank you for such a prompt reply! I'll get that recipe & ask her to try it. Thanks again.
