Bug control while watering?
Every 3 days for how long?
"MARCUS" wrote in message . .. "VB Guy" wrote in message . ca... 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 |
