How do I keep my brugmantia?
Hi! Yes I would like to know How to keep my Brugmantia? Because I don’t have a cellar and in my garage it freeze I do not know how to keep them I brought it inside last fall and was not looking bad for a while then I realize it was full of little little white thing that by really looking at it saw it move so I got a mild homemade spray that did not do any good then I fond a plant spray for plant that I had did not help much either so I took a rag and wipe all the leaves one by one and the whole branches as good as I could was pretty good for a few days but now it still starting to get some more all over again Is there something I could do because we still have quite a few more weeks before we can get it outside and those plant should they be dormant…I did not know so I kept watering them once a week I would really like to save it What can I do Lisette

Sounds like your plant has white fly. Be careful, that will spread to other nearby plants....in desperation, because it is all that I had, I used a light spray, and I mean a really light spray, of Raid Ant Insecticide. I am sure there are other remedies and your homemade spray sounds like it would do the trick but you must spray all of the plant and probably the soil also. Good luck with your plant.
You must re-pot the plant or no matter how much insecticidal spray is used the insects will come back. Any plant insects lay eggs in the soil.
