# i got a watermelon peperomia and a jade plant a couple days ago from…

i got a watermelon peperomia and a jade plant a couple days ago from a plant nursery and there’s little bugs coming out of them sometimes. some of them are like tiny white bugs and some look like fruit flies (i know they aren’t fruit flies) i’ve tried a bunch of methods to get rid of them. i’ve put coffee grounds in their soil, i’ve sprayed them with an oil, dish soap and water mixture and they still haven’t gone away. help!!

Sounds like mealy bugs and fungus gnats. Spray this recipe all over all parts of leaves and plant and soil. Repeat in a week. Also get some sticky tape for any adult gnats flying around.

Neem oil is also great

Fungus gnats are more a nuisance than a hazard to your plants, but mealy bugs will kill your plants. Quarantine those two.

If you just purchased these plants from a nursery, contact them! They may offer a refund or exchange (if you comfortable with that), but should at least CARE that their plants have pests.
