I have ONE houseplant. It's a mandevilla vine and it's huge. It was from my Mom's funeral in July. We transplanted it to a larger pot and tried to leave it outside on the deck but the raccoons got into it, so I brought it into the house. It has tiny little bugs that fly out when I water it. A friend told me to put a drop of Dawn dish soap into a spray bottle, add water, and spray it on the dirt every few days. He said it would stop the eggs in the dirt from hatching. I have done that, every 3 days, for 3 weeks and there are still bugs.
I'm wondering what others here use for bugs on their houseplants?
I looked for a plant safe insecticide spray this afternoon at Wal-Mart, but they have all their Christmas stuff out in that section now (already, yikes!).
