:sob: I came home from my vaction expecting all my babies to have grown and some to have bloomed out. And they did.....but the tragic event that followed next was my own worst nightmare!
I have mealy bugs, scale AND aphids all at once! I had left my plants in the bathtub with the door shut to create nice humidty. They were left to drain after their shower and the heat was set to as resonable temperature so they wouldn't get cold. And the insects partied!
So, I went through every leaf and every plant and crushed everything with my fingers. I try not to use spray if I don't have to. If I do need to use something in the way of insecticide what do you recommend? I tried regular handsoap to help with mealy bugs. What about scale? Insecticidal soap maybe?
