Hi!! Bugs are drawn to Caladiums when the plant is stressed by improper environmental conditions, such as too much direct sunlight, overwatering, or low humidity.

@onemoreplant Mmmhmm how’s the humidity? Also do you have any neem oil for the pest ? And quarantine the plant so it doesn’t infect your others

@onemoreplant neem oil or insecticidal soap should help I use the brand Captain Jacks as pest prevention! Maybe a good insecticidal soap rinse

i don’t use a humidifier so the humidity isn’t above normal. i don’t have neem oil but i guess i should get some. i will quarantine it. thank you for your help!
