What we have to be concerned about is with heavy infestations that can either kill or do extensive damage to a plant that will take too long to recuperate. 1- Never panic when you see a few insects on your plants. A little damage may be acceptable, just monitor the plants affected closely. It is always good to try to identify the insect if is possible. A lot of insects can attack and damage your plants, sometimes for just a short period of time, but few can really kill a plant.
Some plants are really prone to insects.
We already gave up many nice plants just because the insects wouldn't leave the plant alone. Good plant selection is important. Many insects can be picked by hand or rubbed of with a wet swab specially if you have only a few plants. Try a few predatory insects. Unfortunately many bad insects know to hide very well under the leaves and in other inaccessible small places.
