# I have had this poinsettia for over a year now and just recently it…

I have had this poinsettia for over a year now and just recently it has gotten a white flies infestation. Does anybody have a home made solution I can make to treat it? I was using a solution of water, isopropyl alcohol, and dish soap. This solution has helped, but I am now out of the solution and cannot remember the exact recipe to remake it. Thank you for your help!

Also, wanted to share too that I have five other plants in this room that appear to not have been infested yet by the white flies. Should I try to relocate this poinsettia to another room? Any thoughts/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I would definitely relocate. My go to solution is dr bronners and water. Or sometimes neem oil

Soapy dishwater solution kills them off. They live under the leaves. So, spray under the leaves. Neem oil kills them, as well.

Per google, worm castings produces an enzyme that is taken up by the plant into the sap that kills white flies. White flies live on sap. I appreciate worm castings even more. I use it in my potting mix. 😃
