If you're keeping plants at home, it's almost inevitable at some stage you'll see some funny little things on your plants here and there. What are they? And how can I get rid of them? Okay, so there's no need to panic.
The conditions indoors for pests are ideal. There’s warmth, light, and moisture. Being observant will help you catch infestations early and treat them before they get out of hand. So in this blog we'll run through some of the common pests that you might find on indoor plants and introduce some ways to get rid of them.

TREAT
