Ok - so I have a unique situation.......I dug out one of my hot pepper plants to overwinter last fall, and it is not only alive, but still kicking out peppers.......that's awesome......now here comes the downside......all the white fly larvae that were in the soil hatched, and i have white flies all over the plant. I have tried organic insecticides, and I can't shake the little devils. On the bright side, the plant has weathered their existence, and will make it until i can bring it back outisde, but now here's the big problem.......it currently resides in my little basement hotbox area where i start my seeds each winter for the garden in spring.........i have no other place to put the pepper plant, and i am worried that if i leave it in the hotbox with all my starts, that all of my starts will get ravaged by whiteflies......
Would appreciate any input from anyone on what they think about this?
Thanks!
