Pink Daisy Tiny Bugs: Whitefly—Discard or Spray

Your potted pink daisy is covered in pinhead-sized white bugs on leaves/flowers = whitefly.

Recommendation

Discard it. Heavy infestation spreads fast to other plants. Cut losses.

If You Must Treat

Insecticide with derris/malathion (or neem oil).
Spray every 3 days. Isolate plant.
But honestly—throw it out and start fresh.
