Spider Mites, Aphids, and Whiteflies on Potted Citrus: Integrated Control

The Situation

Meyer lemon and dwarf navel orange in pots: web gone after neem, now green aphids and tiny flying bugs on new growth.

Pests arrive from wind, other plants.
Neem and insecticidal soap (Safer) work—spray thoroughly, especially undersides and tender shoots.
Don’t overwater pots; soggy soil invites problems.
