Question
My shrub (I don't know what kind) has little white specks on the leaves and stems. There are other plants near by, but they don't have these specks. What are they, and what can I do about it?

Answer
Hi Barbara, You plant has aphids that are sucking the life out of the leaves and stems.  You need a spray to get rid of them before they do damage to your plant.  Organically you could get atomic grow to help make the plant strong to fight off this type of problem.  kathy
