Bamboo Scale

Post by ClariBoo »

I think my Oldhamii has a minor infestation of Bamboo Scale. I only see them on young culms and shoots and they seem to only be on the sheaths. What should I do to get rid of them without hurting the boo?

How easily do scales migrate to other plants? I've also got B. malingensis, textilis and Wamin, and hopefully soon Gigantochloa atroviolacea, but they're scattered throughout my back yard - not side by side or anything.

Thanks,
Daniel
