Do you use herbicide and/or insecticide on your house plants?

I don’t use any herbicides in my garden or on my house plants. I use pesticides from time to time when needed. I prefer to clean the plants more frequently by showering them and using bio control (such as predatory insects) on my plants ☺️ Neem oil and soapy water helps in most cases.

Yes, pesticides when needed.

Mosquito bits have been a life saver for me!

What are Mosquito bits?

I use it all. Pesticides/insecticides sprays, mosquito bits, and bonide systemic pellets mixed in my soil for my indoor plants. Even when I don’t see pests I still do maintenance with them along with showers to not even give them a chance to take over. I’m constantly bringing new plants in as well so it’s important to me that my collection doesn’t get contaminated. I haven’t lost a plant yet to pests so it’s been paying off! Gotta protect the investments lol.
