Heavy infestations can cover the leaves with very fine webbing. The plants gradually lose their green color and appear dusty or speckled. Use a house plant insect spray according to label directions.
Aphids suck plant juices and are usually found at the stem tips.
A heavy infestation will coat the leaves with sticky honeydew. A black, sooty mold can grow on the honeydew. The insects can be green, white, pink or black.
