Thanks ecrane.
You may be correct, now the originating nursery is saying that it may be whitefly eggs that has been treated. With such infestation, it would have to be a heck of a big bath for the 2 plants--using soapy water in a big pail and toothbrush? Sounds like a tendious job to say the least! Which is worse, scale or possibly unleashing whiteflies? Do you know if whiteflies and/or scale can be harboured in the soil as well?
