dying plant II or: cochineals

apparently i found out my plant and the neighbouring ones have been infected by some ugly form of insects called cochineals... which you can try to kill with a natural remedy, i.e. a very concentrated solution of marseille soap and water. i thought it might turn useful for people, so i wrote it down, even though it's full of posts and stuff all over the internet telling you how to deal with these white little devils.
so, i tried it on, let's see what happens now. too bad i had a raptus a couple of days ago, before i found out this remedy, and cut away a lot of branches. hope they survive this huge amount of torture...
