I have pests in my planter! How do I get rid of them?Updated a year ago

Most pests first are attracted to very moist grow medium. Consider adding a fan to the grow space and giving the planter more sunlight (artificial or natural) if available. Never top-down water, and water less overall to make it harder for pests to stick around.


Neem oil can be a great solve to discourage further indoor plant infestations during watering or light sprays, depending on the instructions on the particular pest prevention product.


To navigate outdoor pests, refer to your local guides on choosing an earth-friendly course of action.
