Coleus - help rgarding bugs or insects

18 years ago

Hi everyone:

This is the first year I've had coleus plants...I bought four different varieties (love those colors) and repotted them and they are temporarily outside since it's gorgeous weather outside.

When I went to check them tonite (which I do every couple of nights to make sure they don't get too much water due to the rain lately), I noticed that the coleus plants seem to have something attacking them...little holes in the leaves that we're there a few nights ago. It didn't get my fern or variegated swedish ivy, and they're all in separate pots but in the same area.

How do I save them? I found some brown things in the soil that I don't remember seeing before, removed them from the pots, moved the pots to another location and rewatered them.

Do I need to spray them as well? If so, with what? They are little plants still and I don't want to kill them.

Thanks!

Gemmy

PS I can take a picture and post it somewhere of the infected plants if that helps any.
