Plant has bugs?

I have a miniature Gardenia, and it has small white flecks of something on it...



Is it a parasite of some sort? How can this be cured?

Sounds like Mealy Bugs, You can swab them off with a q-tip soaked in alcohol or spray with malathion. RScott
Reply:those specks are spidermites-- use ladybugs or try a solution of garlic water to spray on leaves
Reply:it might be aphids, kind of a poofy white bug. you can spray the plants with a little dawn mixed with water. sevin dust might work.you can spray 409 to kill fungus and it does not have to be washed off. i think it would kill the bugs too.
