Indoor Mini Roses: Aphids, Fungus Gnats, and the Humidity Fix

Mini roses are not houseplants. Your green bugs = aphids; flying gnats = fungus gnats; white soil specks = eggs. All thrive in dry indoor air.

Immediate Treatment

Safer's Trounce (organic spray) — cover foliage AND soil surface.
Any indoor insect spray if Trounce unavailable.

The Real Fix: Move Them Out

Roses need humidity, air movement, and full sun.
Daily outdoor time + morning misting transforms health.
If permanent indoor: humidifier, fan, grow lights, daily misting.

You brought the pests home with the plants. Clean them up, then give the roses the conditions they evolved for.
