All our easyplants are treated before they leave the growing facility to your home. During the lifetime of the plant there are several reasons that mites, spiders, or other small bugs can find their way into your easyplant and we recommend the following:
Wiping down the top and bottom of each leaf, and all of the plant's stems with an plant friendly insecticidal soap.
Spray the top of the soil with plant friendly insecticidal soap which will dehydrate them.
Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between watering sessions to discourage gnat larvae.
Follow proper watering instructions for easyplant systems to prevent consistently damp soil.
Your easyplant is a living thing and from time to time may need your help to thrive.
It’s also important to address issues like fungus gnats promptly as they can indirectly affect plant health over time, particularly in younger or weaker plants.
Here is a link to an insecticidal soap that we are happy to recommend. Please note we are not affiliated in any way with the company that offers it.
For flying pests like fungus gnats, start by identifying their presence—look for tiny black insects around your plants or larvae in the topsoil. Apply plain yellow sticky traps to capture adult gnats and combine this with regular drying out of the topsoil. Ensure to always follow the recommended step-by-step instructions to avoid overwatering and worsening the problem.
