[Aroid-l] White Fly on Pycnospatha and others

From: aroidgrower at gmail.com (John Ludwig) on 2007.08.17 at 22:44:59(16122) I have just noticed today for the first time that I have White Fly on my Pycnospatha. I have checked all other plants and also found them on a few Amorph's. +More I have just placed a new Amorph to my collection in the same area and suspect that it had the White Fly infestation. It was obviously a very recently potted, not well established plant. I check my plants every day and yesterday when I added this new arrival to my collection there was no infestation. I have since sprayed the underside of the leaves of the affected plants with "Safer Insecticidal soap." Does anybody have a different method of dealing with this problem. My plants are growing outside and I would rather use a homemade solution to these kinds of problems if I can, as I will be moving these plants indoors in about 7 to 9 weeks. Thank you for your help, John Ludwig
