Houseplant insects.. please help!?
Question:My Chinese Buddah plant has really small webs on the leaves, and I can see tiny black insects on the leaves, on the edges and underneeth. What are they and how can I get rid of them? Someone said they might be spider mites, so i bought some spray, but they just shake it off and carry on scurrying round the leaves and on their webs. Help!
Answers:
They are aphids, you need to get some lady bugs on that plant fast or some vinegar/water 80%/20% solution spray.

Put in bath tub and spray with mild soap and water. Use Q tip dipped in alcohol or vinegar and attack each one separately.
I've had good luck with a solution of dish detergent, vinegar, and water sprayed on the plants. Be sure to keep the infected plants far away from all the others! :)
