dnrevel | On April 21, 2023 | Maintenance performed Moved to the greenhouse, especially after finding little white creepy crawlies in the dirt under the drip saucer indoors (I've fought off the adult aphids but still!) |
dnrevel | On October 15, 2022 | Winterized Brought indoors after soaking soil and treating with Neem. Regardless of preventative measures, still prone to red aphids indoors. Using an organic insecticidal spray (Castile soap, a tad of vinegar, minced garlic) and will report back. Neem and DEarth did nothing to stop the infestation. |
