HELP how do i get rid of white flies on potted plants
Comments (13)Dyna-Gro packages cold-pressed neem oil. In a 1 quart spritzer bottle, mix: 1 pint very hot water 1 teaspoon neem oil (cold-pressed or virgin oil only - Dyna-Gro packages a very good product) 4 drops Murphy's oil soap (or dishsoap) Shake well and add 1 pint of 70% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Spritz Shake frequently while spritzing. Be sure to cover the entire plant. Don't spray in full sun. A little more Murphy's is ok, but unnecessary if using the isopropyl. Repeat at 1-2 week intervals as needed. Copy paste to your browser: http://homeharvest.com/insectspraysneembased.htm Al...See MoreNeed help: What is this weed and how do I get rid of it?
Comments (3)It's some sort of grass. The exact type doesn't really matter. The Bermuda looks completely dormant in that picture. If so, the easiest way to kill the weeds would be to use glyphosate (brand name roundup). Glyphosate will only work on plants that are green. It's a nonselective weed killer, so it will kill anything green that it ends up on, but if the Bermuda is dormant, it won't take the glyphosate in and kill it....See MoreWhat is this & how do I get rid of it?
Comments (5)Perhaps you have alcohol on hand. In your medicine cabinet, the same alcohol you'd use on a cut will kill those insects NOW. Use a cotton swab to get into tiny crevaces. To clean the leaves & stems you can dip either a piece of paper towel or an old toothbrush into the alcohol. They will die right before your eyes. You must check the undersides of the leaves too. There have been many posts lately on what to use to take care of scale and mealie bugs. You might want to do a search and read them. Since your plant is so infested you'll want to spray it well with the product of your choice and do it again in a few days to get the newly hatched. Watch the plant carefully, you may have to treat it several times at regular intervals. This may seem daunting, but once you've restored your plant you'll be happy to see it thriving again and there will be more flowers. Good luck.

Comments (2)Looks like FRP panel that was cut down, and depends on how the did it, some roll glue over the entire surface, and glue it up, maybe you get lucky and they used a few dabs of caulk and it will come right off with a scraper. Most likely you will have minimal wall damage, just apply a few skim coats of spackle over it and get it ready for paint or whatever you plan on doing there. Good luck...See MoreEmily C
