There is a produce called safers soap, it is fine. It is a bug spray for
plants, take your plant to the garge, spray it , let it sit to drip for a
couple of minutes, put back into clean water , if yu hotice some more in a
day or two do it agian but put some spray in the water. I use this on every
plant and tree I bring in and have never had a problem since.
Safers Soap is sold at Canadian Tire and WalMart.
