> It doesn't appear that the root mealy bugs affected > anything else Are they host specific to arisaemas? No ! You can find them on Narcissus, Juno iris, Leucojum, Tecophilea, Scilla. Keep them too hot and dry in the summer and you will certainly find them - unless you use a prophylactic like Marathon. I got them on some freshly imported bulbs a couple of years ago and got rid of them very quickly. J.
