Default Bug control while watering?

I am having the same gnat problem with all of my houseplants. Do I spritz
the whole plant or just the top of the soil they are planted in?

Every 3 days for how long?

Hey all!

My home is full of houseplants and keeping them pest free can be a
nuciance...

Spritz the plants with a diluted solution of warm water and 5%

dishwashing
liquid, i.e. palmolive as in my case; every 3 days and your plants will

be
rid of flies, spider mites, and aphids. I do that to all my plants when

I
bring them in for the winter, mostly to the bamboo plants, as they are

very
vulnerable to spider mites.

Good luck.

Marcus
