🪴Scale is a common pest in gardens, particularly on fig trees. These tiny insects attach themselves to the branches and leaves, feeding on the sap of the plant. As they feed, they excrete a sticky substance called honeydew, which can attract other pests like ants which lead to black sooty mold which in turn reduces your plants ability to photosynthesise (turn the sun rays into energy) and eventually killing the tree. 1️⃣ The first step is to remove the scale manually, create a solution of water
