Oh no

Are you talking specifically about outdoor plants, or indoor house plants? It would also be helpful to know what kind of pests or diseases you think may have attacked your plants. With that information, maybe Planta can be more helpful to you. Good luck!

Hmmmmm… without a picture, I’m not sure enough to give you a diagnosis, but I would say you definitely need to use something like neem oil to get rid of whatever it is; it definitely sounds like a pest. You can buy a ready to use spray at many places; you would then spray once every 7 to 10 days for four times. It would also be a good idea to initially wash the pot your plant is in, (if it’s in a decorative pot), and wipe the counter around it, just to make sure no bugs remain. Any more questions, just ask. Good luck!
