Hi, I have what look like some kind of aphid on my cuttings. These are salvia hot lips cuttings that I took approx 4 weeks ago. 

Can anyone advise how get rid of them?

thank you

Jason

    Hi Jason. I would just rub them off with my fingers before they get too numerous. Cuttings look good and healthy too.
