Expert tips
- In case of infestation, first spray the plant with water and submerge the pot before treating it with our insecticidal soap.
- Before bringing your plants indoors or when you acquire new plants, always treat them with insecticidal soap and quarantine them before placing them near your other plants.
- Never treat in direct sunlight or when the temperature exceeds 32 °C to avoid burning the leaves.
Outdoors, avoid applying in windy weather or before rain (the product would quickly disappear).
Precautions
