What's eating my sinningia 'prudence risley'?

Sinningia 'Prudence Risley' is an indoor flowering gesneriad most threatened by cyclamen mites, which distort its buds and leaves. Mealybugs hide in leaf axils and at the tuber crown, while thrips scar petals and thrips. Aphids cluster on soft new growth. Inspect new growth closely — cyclamen mites are nearly invisible to the naked eye.

New leaves emerge stunted, twisted, and thickened; buds fail to open or produce misshapen flowers; growing tip looks shriveled Discard heavily infested plants; treat with a miticide (abamectin) or immerse the whole plant in hot water at 43 °C (110 °F) for 15 minutes; keep new plants quarantined

White cottony fluff in leaf axils, at stem joints, and around the tuber crown; leaves yellow and plant weakens Dab colonies with a cotton swab dipped in 70% isopropyl alcohol; follow up with neem oil spray weekly for 3–4 weeks; check the tuber surface when repotting

Silvery streaks or flecking on petals and leaves; tiny dark frass dots; blooms look scarred or fail to fully open Remove and dispose of affected flowers; spray with insecticidal soap or spinosad; repeat every 5–7 days for three cycles; keep away from infested plants

Soft-bodied insects clustered on new shoots; leaves curl and distort; sticky honeydew residue Blast off with a gentle water spray; apply insecticidal soap to undersides of leaves; repeat weekly until clear
