Hallo Chilli Lovers,
have several thriving pots of Habaneros grown indoors. I noticed yesterday that one of them had hundreds of little yellow 'eggs' on the underleaves, so I gave it firstly a soapy wash, then rubbed off any eggy residue, then scraped off the topsoil and replaced it, in case of lurkers.
I then sprayed with ordinary water. The plant is not yet fully recovered, some of the leaves look a bit sorry for themselves, but there is no sign of any adult pest there. Have I done right, and was this an incipient greenfly invasion that I nipped in the bud?
Otherwise what other pests do chillis have that these eggs might have been from?
Any help would be most appreciated. I am so proud of my plants, they are absolutely gorgeous, and I don't want them decimated by some chompimg nibbling beastie!
Regards, Caro
