Does my rubber tree have a pest?
Hello everyone π
My rubber tree is currently losing leaves, and when I took a closer look, I noticed these white spots that look slightly fluffy. What is this, and what should I do next?
Have a wonderful Christmas season!π
best regards

Mealybug – take spirit, brush the affected areas. Avoiding air
Then rub off the white "flakes" with cotton
That seems to be mealybugs
