# I got this maybe a month ago, second time with one. Didn’t realize…

I got this maybe a month ago, second time with one. Didn’t realize the first time their high humidity needs until it was too late. And now this.  
What do I do? Or am I paranoid?

Use neem oil, give the leaves a water bath and then spray the neem oil all over

It’s in a terrarium. Will I need to take it out of the terrarium to treat the aphids?

This can be a little tricky. purple passion does not like water on its leaves but given the presence of aphids I would gently spray the aphids off with room temperature water and spray with all seasons oil but go light on the spray and spray early in the day so it has plenty of time to dry before night.

Is it possible that my purple passion outgrowing its terrarium encouraged the aphids? I had to take the cover off so it wouldn’t be squished.

You can get lady bugs to help eat and rid the aphids if that is what they are.
