What's eating my zantedeschia 'crystal blush'?

Zantedeschia 'Crystal Blush' grown as a flowering patio or garden plant is most threatened by aphids clustering on stems and spathes, and by slugs attacking emerging leaves. Thrips can scar the delicate pale blooms. Indoors, spider mites and aphids are the main concerns. Check spathes carefully as blooms open.

Dense colonies on flower stems and inside spathes; sticky honeydew and distorted flower bracts Knock off with a water jet or apply insecticidal soap; repeat every 5 days until clear; avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen

Silver-white streaking and scarring on spathes and leaves; tiny dark frass specks visible on blooms Remove heavily infested flowers; spray with spinosad or insecticidal soap targeting all plant surfaces; use blue sticky traps to monitor

Ragged holes in emerging leaves and spathes, with slime trails, especially in cool and damp garden conditions Apply iron phosphate pellets around the planting area; hand-pick at night; avoid deep mulch immediately around stems
