houseplant bugs

 

If you think an insect may be causing a problem on your house plants, ask for help. Be sure you identify the insect before you use any chemical sprays.It may not be an insect at all: fungal infections are often mistaken as insect damage. Insecticides are ineffective in controlling fungal related problems. Cultural errors, watering too often or not enough, or too much or not enough light, could be the reason your plants are not doing well. These problems can only be corrected by changing cultural practices. If an insect is indeed the culprit, identifying the type of insect ensures that the best treatment, chemical or other, is used. If you are not sure, bring in a sample, a leaf with an insect on it, or the whole plant if it is small, and we will assist you in identifying and treating your pest problems.
