Black Fly
 

I have found that I have got black fly on one of my Fushcias, can someone please tell me how to get rid of them, safely and quickly, so they dont spread to anyother plants.:confused:

They will, anyway. Spray bad infestations with soft soap or a
solution of washing up liquid with a small amount of methylated
spirits.

What's the meths for? Ours die very efficiently on washing-up liquid alone.

It also reduces the surface tension a bit, or that is what I understand.
Anyway, it is recommended for use both for window cleaning and killing
aphids. Whether its makes a significant difference, I can't say.

I too have blackfly on some Okra in my greenhouse. It's only on 2 of
the 8 plants I have but is making one of them very sick.

The leaves are starting to go yellowy/brown and I've noticed that a
section of the main stem has gone a dry brown colour (feels like it is
rotting away).

So far, I have tried using Pyrethium spray, used a spraygun to try &
dislodge the bugs and also sprayed with something on sale in the UK
called "Biosept" which is supposed to act as a foliar vitamin feed to
help improve plant's resistance to fungal infections (which is what I
believe aphids eventually cause).

Any other ideas, or do you think I just had one or two weak plants
that were going to be susceptible?
