I brought my ficus lyrata plants inside for the cool season about three weeks ago, and ever since - have had numerous pest problems despite using an insecticidal soap to spray the leaves and drench the soil. I suspect part of the reason is that the medium doesn't dry out as quickly as it did outside in the heat during the summer. I've pruned a couple of the bottom most leaves off of the plants to allow for more air flow within the medium. If anyone can shed some light on what these are so I can GET RID of them (suggestions welcome), I would be so grateful.
