New experimental treatment for gall mite (aloe cancer)

Great news for aloe gardeners who have problems controlling aloe cancer! A new experimental treatment developed by Sunbird Aloes has just been revealed. If the

cancerous growth is still small there is no need to cut or use dangerous pesticides. The treatment involves painting the gall or growth with formalin (formaldehyde). It is a strong chemical so reasonable precautions should be taken - please see the Aloe Care, Pests and Diseases page in this website.
