Aculops fuchsiae

Look for any variation in coloration of the plant. The leaves start to redden and as populations of the mite increase, the leaves and flowers are deformed or galled. New galled leaf tissue is pale-green and rusted, and becomes reddened with time. Symptoms of infestation are most strongly expressed on the terminal shoots, and heavy infestation can stop all new growth. Examination with a hand lens should reveal the presence of the mite.
