My gerbera daisy infestation was not doing well. I tried the homemade concoction of water, vinegar and baking soda, but then my sprayer broke. Truthfully, I found it to be a pain to wash each leaf by hand. My diligence went to the wayside and the bugs won....big time! They seem to only like my daisies because I have a variety of other plants in my potting shed that are totally unaffected; even ones that were sitting right next to them.
I broke down and bought a commercial spray that is supposed to be environmentally friendly....
All I can say is, I hope it works. I gave them a first application last night. They do look somewhat less infested?? Perhaps that is my wishful thinking. How these poor plants are continuing to grow and remain green is beyond me.
