   * **Epidermis:** The epidermis remains light to dark green in early onset but turns yellow to red as the disease progresses and growth outpaces nutrient availability. In heavily afflicted areas the epidermis is heavily crowded by the rapid proliferation of new shoots.   * **Epidermis:** The epidermis remains light to dark green in early onset but turns yellow to red as the disease progresses and growth outpaces nutrient availability.

-  * **Monstrose growth:** This condition is easily confused with natural monstrose, crested, or caespitose growth forms (such as //Lophophora williamsii f. caespitosa//). Certain monstrose genetic lines, such as crosses involving the cultivar "Olivia", are highly prone to throwing funky, clustered growth that can be confused with Witch's Broom. +  * **Monstrose growth:** This condition is easily confused with natural monstrose, crested, or caespitose growth forms (such as //Lophophora williamsii f. caespitosa//).

   * ** Pest damage:** Non-infectious broom-like growth can be triggered by physical damage to the meristem. Sucking pests like mealybugs, mites, or caterpillars can damage the growing tip, causing it to terminate and throw a dense cluster of lateral pups. If pests are treated growth will eventually return to normal.   * ** Pest damage:** Non-infectious broom-like growth can be triggered by physical damage to the meristem.

This should help prevent spread and reintroduction.   * **Pest Management:** Closely inspect the grow area for pests. Treat for whatever pests are present.
