Careful, Dann, I might just decide to spray you for the fun of it
Welcome to the forum, Nancy.
There are more experienced gardeners here than I, and I'm sure you'll get a variety of opinions, but your description of white fuzz sounds a lot like mealybugs, except the mealybugs that hang out in my garden seem to prefer the stems of some of my
plants, usually right where an upper leaf branches out from the stem. I have geraniums also, but no mealybugs on them. Though they are in pots, some distance away from the other
plants that have mealybug activity, which may account for it.
If they *are* in fact mealybugs, go to
plant Pests and Problems, and look for the post on Mealybugs, where you'll get the general consensus about how to handle them.
Hope this helps.
