airplant pests


Question

airplant
Hi, I have many airplants and lately some of them have  become infested with a tiny soft white pest. I have tried insecticidal soap but the bugs come back within a few days!  Will a dishsoap and water mix help??  The insecticidal soap is expensive when I have sooo many airplants.  Thanks, Vicki  

Answer
Hi Vicki,  They are mealy bugs and they are a pest.  I suggest Atomic Grow which is organic and you use 1 teaspoon per quart of water, a small bottle goes along way to make your plant healthy so bugs go elsewhere. It absorbs into the leaves, cleans off the plant and raises the brix so the bugs go away.  kathy
