help my plants

[leeza09]

hi
i have a small garden and in recent times i see very small small white insect sort, which attacks my plants in bunches it will look like dust particles flying around. the problem is it is spreading from plant to plant. if those sits on our body it will bite us we can just feel it and we cant see it.
i tried many pesticides but once that medicine goes off it comes again. i even cropped my plants, after it grows again the insects returns back. i cannot control it because it is everywhere i even asked my neighbor even they also face the same problem.

Hi Leeza,

Do these small white flying insects also lay eggs that look like rice on the bottom side of older leaves? If so they are probably what we call whiteflies.
Very hard to get rid of but I found a very informative website for you. Whiteflies Management Guidelines--UC IPM.

Good Luck Leeza and let us know how you make out...

hi diane,
i visited the local nursery and that person sent his plant caretaker to spray the medicine (sorry i dont know the medicine name) and he told that all the plants leaf will fall down and new leaves will come so asked me not to worry if i see the leaves falling down. so i think i got remedy.thank you for your help, i was so worried.

hi diane, the problem is solved. i have got 4 rose plants thats the new addition in my garden. all different colors praying it should grow properly with out any problem.
i just want to know are rose plants prone to worms, because when buying i saw small worms in the flowers.

Hi Leeza, Glad to hear you have gotten your pest problem resolved. That must be a relief to you...
What color are the worms in your roses? They could be slugs or the pesty little green worm..
Let me know Leeza and I will help you if I can to be rid of them.

Hope you are having a great day!

the worms are not eating the flowers, but today i noticed that the worm is eating the bud from inside and in the end the bud falls down by itself without flowering but from out if you see it looks like the bud is good and still in the bulged shape.
the worms are not green they look almost transparent with black strips and it grows to about half a inch.
do you have any idea about it diane.

Hi Leeza,

Can you send a picture of the worms that are bothering your plants? Also, Leeza what part of the country do you live in?

Thanks,
