How to Prevent Ferns from Carrying Pests Before Moving Indoors?

By ForwardPlant Team
To prevent pests, thoroughly inspect your fern, especially leaf undersides and soil, for any signs of insects. Isolate new plants for a few weeks. Before moving indoors, gently wash the foliage with a mild insecticidal soap solution or neem oil, ensuring full coverage. You can also repot with fresh, sterile potting mix to eliminate potential soil-borne pests.
