Hello, My name is Justin. I am from Clearwater FL.
I own 11 Pre-Bonsai and 2 Bonsai. 2 junipers, Ligustrum, Ginseng Ficus, 2 Ficus Benjamina, Eastern Red Cedar, Willow leaf Ficus, 2 Ilex, Red Maple, and Crape Myrtle.
I've had a slight problem with my Ginseng Ficus, I have been watering all my plants once a day (which I thought would be okay since they are in 80 degree heat and 90% humidity.
It's new buds are turning a yellow-orange color and then yesterday I noticed some leafs have closed together from one side to the other.
I opened a few up and noticed little black bugs. Slender. And white specks next to them (which I suspect are eggs).
This morning I took into my hands to spray with a soapy spray.
I sprayed the leafs and the soil just in case.
And a few of the plants around it.
Am I over-watering my plants?, What are these bugs?, Was the spray the right decision?
