3 Pest Control Tips for Bringing Houseplants in Indoors for the Fall/Winter Months

Описание: Today I'm showing you the the three steps I'm taking to prevent pest infestation when I bring them back indoors PLUS the growth my houseplants (monsteras and Limey the Lime Tree!) from "Summering" outside at Failla Farm. Watch this video if you've kept ANY plants outdoors and am planning them on bringing them inside!

Thanks to Espoma Organics for being a part of this video! Their pest control soaps and horticultural sprays are a staple in our houseplant care toolkit!

While at Failla Farm, I'm showing the growth on my two monstera plants (tons of new fenestrated leaves unfurling) and Limey, showing you how I examine the plants before bringing them indoors and three steps I take before I bring them back inside. A HUGE cause of pest infestation is when pests "hitchhike" on our plants from outside and will jump to other indoor plants. I've heard horror stories of entire plant collections being taken down by thrips, fungus gnats, mealybugs or spider mytes. I hope these tips help you out!
