: I started out with beautiful hanging baskets of Purple Wave Petunias. Recently I have noticed a lot of white flies and aphids and they are turning the foliage brown. I have sprayed with Liquid Sevin. I would like to know if there is something else I need to be doing. Thanks
Cheryl,
Use Safer's Insecticidal soap (as directed) instead of Sevin. I had the same problem last year and the soap solution kept things under control. make sure, tho, to totally soak underneath as well as the soil.
