# How do you guys know when your plants have pests? What do you use to…

How do you guys know when your plants have pests? What do you use to prevent them and what do I do if there any? I feel like I would know if they were infested, I just brought this new one home Sunday and she was on clearance with some brown spots so I want to make sure she’s good!

She’s stunning!😍 I would have brought her home too. With pests, there are typically visible signs; it is fungus or disease that’s harder to pinpoint. Mostly, just be careful with watering. I noticed that you have missing information in this plant’s settings. Be sure to complete all info so that Planta will set a more accurate schedule. Then you can follow that as a guide. Always check the soil before watering. If it is still moist, you can snooze or skip that action.

Okay thanks! When I get her out of this nursery pot I will definitely fill out all the info. Not sure.. do they like to be root bound and in tight quarters?

When i get new plants I check them over, spray them down with a shower, then spray them down with a mix of 2c DI water, 2 tbl neem, 1 til Peppermint castille soap, 1 tsp 70% alcohol.. then I top off the 32 oz sprayer with more DI till it's full. I let that sit for 30-60 mins. SShower off again. Add systemic to the soil and leave them in the sink overnight. Check them in the morning, and put into QT for 3 weeks. Where i check them regularly for any pests or problems
