jimdfish Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have growing at work on the widowsill the following A four year old Bolivian Rainbow (very Hot) This years cuban black (HOT HOT HOT) this years peach habanero or devils tongue ( Too hot to handle) I am however plaqued this year by tiny flies that live in the soil. They are about 2mm long and do not seem to have any effect on the plant or the fruit. they are just nuisance around the office. Anyone have any ideas what they are and how I can treat them?

Dunkield Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Jim, I started this thread in the recipe section as it seemed closest to the subject: http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=66559 Do you want me to move your question there?

jimdfish Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 i must look in the recipes thread more often. It would seem appropriate to have it on the thread SP Thanks Jim P.S if anyone wants someseeds off the bolivian Rainbow drop me a mail. Since planting four years ago it has always had fruit on, even in the depths of winter. Fruit go from purple, to green to yellow to red. Hence the name rainbow.

Jim I had exactly the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Three mature, full of fruit plants devastated. I bought some greenfly spray, used that and managed to salvage two of them. The 3rd I had to bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexican bob Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Dumping dishwater on outside plants is fine. Pouring dishwater over your windowsill plants may be messy. Try dishsoap and water in a spray bottle. Give them a good wetting. It works well enough if you don't want to use commercially available insect sprays.
