Question
bug killer
Hi I was wondering if you were familiar with this product and if you were, could I use this product on my neps.without causing damage to my plants?I uploaded a pic.(SAFER)brand, It says its a combination of insecticidal soap and botanical pyrethrins.I looked for your video section on on this topic, but could not find it any longer?Thanks in advance for your helpful response!
AnswerHi Tom,
Yes. We avoid insecticidal soaps since they break down into fertilizer-like products in the soil. Nepenthes and Sarracenia can probably tolerate them, but sundews and butterworts could be damaged or killed. If you can find a product with just Pyrethrins, that is fine. Here's a link to the insecticide podcast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbRCdJ8ZNF0&playnext=1&list=PL7C076C23FD3DFB68
Good Growing!
