In my case it was probably kind of _root mealybug_ (rhizoecus).

When pests are found disinfect the pot (scald with boiling water), gently clean the roots of the old earth, rinse the plant roots in insecticide solution and plant in fresh soil. If there is no possibility to transplant the flower, it is necessary to pour the earth with systemic insecticides penetrating into the vessels of the plant, and causing the death of pests. {quote} I have used Actara Insecticide: http://www.syngenta-us.com/insecticides/actara [HYPERLINK@www.syngenta.co.uk] Also this insecticide can help: Confidor Garden Insecticide [HYPERLINK@theplanthub.com.au] http://www.saudi-arabia.cropscience.bayer.com/en/Products/In...
