What if I see bugs?
Occasionally, bugs might decide to visit your flowers.
If you see bugs, you will probably see aphids or
spider mites which probably found their way into
your home on clothing or cut flowers. They are clever
about hiding under leaves and in the joints between
leaves and plant stems, so they can be difficult to see
at first.
Initial signs that you have aphids are either your
plants look unhealthy or you may see a sticky
substance on your AeroGarden’s Grow Surface. Spider
mites look like tiny gray dots on the underside of
leaves. Heavy infestation will leave noticeable webs
on the tops of plants.
This is the easiest way we’ve found to get rid of bugs:
Prepare a solution of non-toxic insecticidal soap,
available at most gardening stores – following
manufacturer’s directions.
Lightly spray plant leaves with soap and gently
rub leaves between fingers to coat entire leaf. If
possible, avoid spraying buds and/or flowers.
Check surrounding plants to make sure the
bugs haven’t spread. If they have, follow the
above steps with any other buggy plants.
Repeat as directed on the bottle of
insecticidal soap.
Keep a watchful eye on plants for the return
of bugs and treat again, if necessary.
