Help! Pachira (Money Tree) bug problem
6 years ago
Hi,
I purchased a pachira tree about 2 weeks ago and today noticed it was crawling with black bugs. I got rid of about 15 or so bugs that were visible. Black, six legged. I've included pictures. Are these some type of aphid? How should I treat the plant to end infestation and prevent them from coming back? Thank you!
