| I PLANT COLEAS AND INSECTS EAT ROOTS AND CRAWL UP INSIDE THE STEMS. THEY LOOK LIKE TERMITES. WHAT ARE THEY AND WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THEM? |
| Termites feed on cellulous (wood), not on plants so I don't think you're dealing with termites in your coleus. I think the critters are probably grubs (larvae). You can purchase insecticides to eliminate grubs in your garden soil. Grub-ex is one brand name and you'll find it in the garden section of your local Home Depot. |
