Spots on Sempervivum
Hi! My Sempervivum started getting white spots. Would you know what they are?

They look like physical damage

Either bug bites, or bird pecking.

How do I get rid of the bugs? or how do I make them not come back?stefan m. wrote:Either bug bites, or bird pecking.
Re: Spots on Sempervivum
To be honest, these bug bites are not made by bug infestations(aphids, mites), but rather by hungry, larger insects passing by. No idea where you live, but theres not much you can do against physical damage, aside from hoping that the important bits arent damaged. Anyway, sempervivums are tough and hardy plants, and doesnt bother them. I mean, Ive seen them take on hailstones with just scrapes and bruises.
