What's eating my aeonium tabuliforme?

Saucer Plant grows as an almost perfectly flat rosette and is prone to mealybugs sheltering in the tightly packed leaf centre, which retains moisture and hides colonies. Scale insects attach to the short stem. Spider mites can affect it in dry air. Because the flat rosette traps water and debris, keep the centre clear and dry to avoid both pests and rot.

White waxy masses buried deep in the flat rosette centre; inner leaves discolor and the plant stalls Use a fine-tipped cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to reach the centre; apply neem oil spray weekly, angling the nozzle into the rosette

Brown oval bumps on the short central stem; leaves turn pale and honeydew drips down the pot Scrape scales off with a soft toothbrush; apply horticultural oil; re-inspect and repeat after 10–14 days

Pale stippling across the densely arranged leaves; very fine webbing visible at the leaf margins in dry air Raise indoor humidity; apply insecticidal soap or diluted neem oil spray every 5–7 days until clear
