House Plant Problem

[gessoo]

I have a thick, very sticky white substance on some of my conservatory plants. I presume it is from an insect as it doesn't look like mould. I have sprayed it with insecticide but nothing shifts it. Any ideas welcome. Should I get rid of the plants?

I am now on internet explorer and I still can't find the edit facility and the thing where you can do all this gumf.
I am slowly going insane ..not helped by the wind howling round here although it is sunny.

Oh robinia was it meant to be Stonehenge? I've been dancing naked round the local traffic lights, still it caused quite a stir.

shaney there's a list of the usable tags in FAQs, under 'how to format my posts'. Alas, it seems we still can't just cut and paste them, but the bold/italic/underline ones are short enough to learn. The link-overwrite one is a mouthful, so it'll be a while before this biddy uses it very much.

Thank you jno ...I have had a look but it's all as clear as mud !
I presume you have to do this all from the keyboard and that will be a nightmare for me ....
I am right in thinking that there used to be a little drop down box with IE.. . on the AB page....or am I really losing my faculties .
I don't know about dancing round naked but I will be running through the streets screaming soon .
