Brugmansias

Question

My brugmansia leaves are being eaten by what looks like ants or very small, very black spiders. Any advice on how to deal with this please?

Answer 1

Spider mites and aphids are among the most common pests of this plant--both of which can be taken care of by treating the plant with neem oil. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm
