[Plant-biology] ficus benjamina disease

[Mary Holden]

Hi, I just saw your article about the problem with your ficus.  I have a similar problem but it involves what appears to be an egg attached to the bottom of a leaf . It is white and very greasy feeling when mashed.  The leaf eventually dies.  I have sprayed with insect soap and Schultz house and garden insect spray to no avail.  This tree is 11 years old and this is the first trouble I have had.  Please help if you can.

Thanks, Mary Holden
