Bogenvilla Mites


Question
What can I spray to rid bogenvilla of small mites?

Answer
Hi Joseph...we use 100 percent Neem Oil at our nursery.  It is organic and alters the taste of the plant to get the bugs going else where.  As there are copies at the stores that add poison which will kill the beneficials too, please read the labels.  Spray now, but even more so, before the pests arrive.  It does not wash off and will absorb into the leaves to alter the taste.  Use dish detergent that is plain with no additives. After that you need only to spray the new growth if needed.

Happy Thanksgiving  kathy
