A. Figs do this in the Autumn as they are deciduous.

Q. There are some fluffy white growths in the leaf joints of my Bougainvillea, what are they?

A. These sound like ‘mealy bugs’ , more of a messy nuisance than harmful but they leave a sticky residue on the plant which can cause sooty mould. Spray them with ‘Plant invigorator’ several times over a period of 2 weeks and they will slowly go away. Repeat if necessary.
