I agree, Cornell sounds great . At this point I've lost so much .What's a few dollars more to solve the mystery and prevent future deaths. It's only on the cactus and succulents which I had alot of. The cactus I showed you was one of my last. I am sending a photo of a succulent that now has it. "It" begins on the stalk of the plant being slowly covered in this goldish webbing or crust. Then the folage begins to shrivel on the succulents. The spines on the mature catus turn kind of grey and dead looking.Sometimes there will be a whitish fuzz on the dead looking spine.
Thanks to everyone I sincerely appreciate it. Will be in touch manana.

PS I think that was a systemic from Bayer. I wil dig out tomorrow.
