Moving favorite plants indoors can also bring some unwanted guests. Gardening expert Melinda Myers explains how to identify and manage common pests like fungus gnats, aphids, spider mites, scale and mealybugs.
Simple steps can make a big difference. Letting soil dry slightly between waterings can help with fungus gnats, while a strong spray of water may knock aphids and mites off plants. Horticultural oils and insecticidal soaps can also help when applied according to label directions.
Most importantly, keep plants healthy with proper light and watering to help them better withstand pest problems all winter long.
