Black round like bugs an little worms in plaints


Question
How do I get rid of them. These plaints used to be out side . Ibrought them in from the cold.It is two kind of bugs. One looks goldish and the other one looks round with nohead just legs an they dig in the dirt.

Answer
Donna,

Water them with rubbing alcohol straight out of the bottle. Use the same amount of alcohol that you would normally use water when you water them. Alcohol will kill the insects and worms on contact and it will not hurt the plants or their roots.

During the winter be very careful not to overwater your plants. More plants are killed by too much water than by too little. Too much water causes root rot and attracts fungus gnats. If you have more plant questions feel free to write again. Good luck.
