What Is Eating Holes In My Leaves?

RE: What Is Eating Holes In My Leaves? By neetr (1) Contact I have recently potted two hibiscus plants in my balcony. The one with the pink flowers has not given a single bud in 3 weeks. Also the leaves of this plant have holes in them. What can i do to prevent the holes? The yellow one gives one flower in a week. 3 days back it had some 5 new buds, but the very next day all the buds had suddenly disappeared. What can be causing this?

I have them too, and they're bad. My grape leaves and my raspberries, all thats left of all the leaves are the veins. They are these little blackish greenish purplish beetle thing. Nothing gets rid of them! I've tried everything and nothing will keep them off the plant for more than a few days, if at all. This is the first year I've had these and they are making me nuts! I don't think they bite, but they are agressive little buggers. When I shake a vine they all fly off, AT me, then go right back to eatig my stuff! I hope someone knows what they are and how to make them go away! Posted on 08/17/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What Is Eating Holes In My Leaves? By Mythi (Guest Post) You didn't say what type of plants. It could also be aphids or slugs. Aphids you use a mix of water and dishwasher liquid in a spray bottle and spray on the plants. Roses get them a lot but there are other plants that get them too. Slugs, set out a saucer of beer, which they love and they will crawl into and die instead of eating your plants.

They're all over our basil, too, but we're an organic farm and there's not much we can do about it except kill all of them we come across by hand.

Or it could be worms of one kind or another. A sprinkle of a white powder called bacillus thurienginsis (BT for short) also called Dipel, should solve any worm problem, and is harmless to people. Good luck! Posted on 08/16/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What Is Eating Holes In My Leaves? By Marna (Guest Post) What it is depends on what kind of plants you're talking about.
