over-wintering floaters and little bugs
Hi guys,
I've posted on here before, but it's been quite a while. Does anyone know how to over-winter floating plants, (water hyacinth, frog-bite)? I tried last year by putting them in a plastic dishpan, under grow lights and after a month or so they got tiny little bugs all over them. So I just threw them out. This year, I took mostly the frog bite inside, I put a handful in the fish tank on my desk and some in the big plastic tubs I use for my water canna's and other potted plants. They seemed to do pretty good for about the first 2 months and then they start getting some brown spots on them and in another month or so I started seeing the little bugs again. Can anyone help me here? Oh the ones I put in my fish tank have been doing pretty well, still green and they didn't have any bugs (I thought the green was because the fish tank light is more powerful.) till the last few days, I just looked over there and noticed little black specks on one of them. What type of bug is it? aphides? and where do they come from? why does it take so long for them to show up? why don't I see them in the pond, but 5 months after they have been in the house???? Thanks, Joy |
