Sooty mold cleaning

A... had me move plants off from a bench in D3. We then moved the entire bench a couple of feet to allow workmen to repair overhead equipment (lights I suspect).

In D3 I placed trays under large pots to collect insecticide. A... used a chemical called dinotefuran, adding is to pots to help control most types of scale. It is a neonicotinoid compound.

I spent most of the time in D2 cleaning sooty mold off the leaves of several plants, notably Amborella and a fern from New Caledonia with leaves resembling a deciduous bush (Ptisana attenuata).
