Seeking Organic Canna Leaf Roll Remedy

17 years ago

I tried liquid detergent and peroxide in varying strength to no avail. I heard of Neem oil. Anyone used Neem oil on cannas before? I have lots of hummingbirds, cardinals butterflies, and bees visiting my garden so I do not want anything that will harm wildlife. Thanks. ->Dee

The only treatments I've heard of are trichogramma wasps & bt, which is bacillus therengensis (spelling not guaranteed on either one!);

you'd need to check to be sure neither would harm the wildlife you want to protect.

You might also post on the Organic Gardening forum.

Best luck!

I think BT is the way to go. You can also hunt down those little rascals and remove them by hand.
