Friendly reminder: Don’t forget to check up on your Dormant plants! 😆 An aphid invasion on my Canna plant that is currently stored in a cool and dark place. A bit of soap and wipe and they were eradicated. 🪲

Oh the horror! 😳

#### Elin replied on 2023-01-17

For sure! But I’m glad that it wasn’t thrips or mealybugs 🙈 If I had to choose one pest on my plants it would be aphids

#### Ida replied on 2023-01-18

Totally agree! Aphids anytime of the week instead of thrips or mealybugs 🥵

Are aphids more common in the winter? I’ve found them on my dumb cane and my fittonia (which were not next to each other). Will they revive in the spring?
