What can you put on flowering plants to keep the bugs away?
My Hibiscus plants have small holes on the leaves. Is there something I can put on the plants to keep bugs away.
Thank you.

Seven dust powder or spray. Also “summer oil” spray any brand. It’s slightly oily and will stick. Good for most plants including roses and gardenias.
Try a spray of strong tea and water(maybe 1part to 1 part) You might have to work with the proportions. Spray on plants. Also the old teas leaves can be mixed in soil. Hope this helps.
I put peppermint Castile soap in a spray bottle filled with water. I use it on veggies, roses etc & I do it preventative & when I see bugs. also use Castile soap in my foam hand soap pump, showe & shampoo with it. Dr Bonner has tea tree too. Using it for 5 yrs/love it. One product does it all & gentle enough for s baby- no harmful ingredients.
You can clip a leaf with the bugs and put in a ziplock bag. Then take to your nearby garden nursery for help.
Spraying soapy water on them works for some types of bugs.
Great I will give it a try. Any kind of soap in particular.
