# I’m trying to get help for my outdoor spider plant. Something is…

I’m trying to get help for my outdoor spider plant. Something is eating it, idk what, and I want to treat it before it’s worse. What can I put on it? I’ve attempted to post in other groups, but it never shows up :(

one thing i use for my indoor plants is this. it's completely safe for use on basically all plants and doesn't smell bad at all. it's highly concentrated, so i would put it in a spray bottle and dilute with the appropriate amount of water (it says on the bottle) and then use it as frequently as you'd like. it keeps most bugs away and stays in effect for a decent bit of time

There’s also a systemic granule you can sprinkle onto the soil every couple of months, it’s made by Bonide.

I’d do the neem treatment in the evening, neem+sunlight will sunburn the plant.

Bonide systemic granules.
