What's eating my golden sedum?

Golden Sedum (Sedum adolphii) kept as a houseplant is most commonly attacked by mealybugs lodging in the leaf axils and mealybugs at root level. Aphids and spider mites also attack, particularly when grown on a bright windowsill. The dense rosette of succulent leaves creates sheltered spots where colonies hide between waterings.

White fluffy wax in leaf axils and stem joints; honeydew and sooty mould; leaves may yellow or drop early Dab colonies with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab; spray the full plant with diluted neem oil; repeat every 10 days for a month

Fine webbing on the undersides of leaves; pale silvery stippling on leaf surfaces; worst in low-humidity heated rooms Rinse leaves with water; apply insecticidal soap spray to leaf undersides; repeat after seven days and improve ventilation

Clusters of small soft-bodied insects at growing tips; distorted new leaves; sticky honeydew on lower leaves Squash by hand or rinse off with water; spray with insecticidal soap; check for ant activity that may be farming colonies
