[IBC] Repotting Buttonwood
Dale,
I have a rain barrel attached to my shed roof that I use to fill several watering cans strategically placed around the yard. I do keep Bt based mosquito dunks in the rain barrel, think this might be problem? No. BT is Bacillus thuringensis, (that probably is NOT spelled right), a bacteria, and it would/could have no effect on plants. snip My main pest problem while growing indoors is aphids, they seem to appear no matter what I do. Seen a few outbreaks of scale on some Ficus, but nothing else. I usually pick the scale off by hand and use Neem oil for the aphids. What does a mealy bug look like? Do you mean the little "rollie-pollies"? Mealy bugs are like little puffs of cotton on your trunk or branches. They, and aphids, can be controlled by application of a pyrethrum-based pesticide. In summer, your tropicals should (read MUST) be outside. You will find that your pest problems drop by 90%.
