Hello I’m wondering if anyone uses any type of pest control that doesn’t damage their plants or have used the arber plant food from the app? Just everything I look up is telling me it’s damaged plants and I have at least 2 rare plants I don’t want damaged at all and would be so heartbroken. Any advice would be SO Appreciated! Thank you! Also just a photo because I’m proud of how far they’ve come!
What pests do you have?
1 Like None at the current moment but I’m concerned I saw little bugs crawling around they were tiny and pill shaped but black? I saw them twice and since fixing some of the plant issues I was having I haven’t seen them since! Just worried 😟

I use Bonide’s Insecticidal soap, and none of my plants have reacted poorly to it. Castile soap is another gentle way to go for cleaning the leaves of a plant. If you’re looking for something you can put on the soil rather than risk putting on the leaves to kill something, like fungus gnats, mosquito bits and systemic granules are great for that. If you wanna be extra careful, keep the plant out of direct or fun sun for a day after spraying the plant’s leaves, and you should be fine.

1 Like No problem. I usually get mine at my Ace Hardware or local plant nurseries, but you could probably find it at Lowe’s, Home Depot, or the Garden Center at Walmart. Don’t be scared to ask someone at the plant nurseries for what they use.

The Arber Organic Fungicide Liquid and Organic Insecticide Liquid Concentrate is great for gnats! They definitely slowed down after the first watering. I ordered it from Amazon though, they sell the 16oz. I’ve also ordered from Arber’s website too. Great products

I love STEM Garden Pest spray-it’s people and pet friendly but not bug friendly. Scent is not bad either. And cheap on Amazon.
1 Like Awesome thank you! Will def try!
1 Like I use it indoors and out. It’a almost too easy. Bye bugs!
