received some ivy leafed geraniums large plugs a while ago, some of the leaves had hard nodules on them, never really paid enough attention to it, but sorting out the plants that needed potting on today and the leaves now have yellow/buff coloured nodules on the underside, the plants seem healthy enough, I've removed all of the leaves that look like this and tried to find a picture of what the cause is on the web, the nearest is cushion scale or gall mite. They have been in the green house for about 2 weeks how does it transmit to other plants and how do I get rid of it? I'm thinking of complaining to the nursery but as I've had them a while they will say I gave it to them. I haven't taken a picture but will try tomorrow.

Poly you should complain to the nursery if the bug came from there. If they were not going over, it would be alright to leave them before potting up, but (fibbing by omission), they would not need to be told this part.

That's a new one on me Poly and I'm surprised that the nursery hadn't noticed. Lets hope it's nothing in you GH then hopefully you'll be able to confine the problem.

I think the problem lies with the nursery who were taking cuttings and growing on..I may be "barking up the wrong tree" but..I have an inkling its a problem with the tissue breaking down/going "corky"....due to irregular watering. I may be wrong but I'm sure I've read about this somewhere before.. Don't think it affects the plants as such, just, as you have already done, take off the affected leaves......I know there is a virus that affects pelargoniums but that shows as tiny little pinpricks of dark brown/black in groups, on the undersides the the leaves..that is a little more serious and can spread to other pelargoniums...

I think this is correct.
