What if I see bugs?

Although leafy green plants are rarely attacked by bugs, it is good to know what to do just in case.

If you see bugs, they probably found their way into your home by hitching a ride on clothing or cut flowers.They are clever about hiding under leaves and in the joints between leaves and plant stems, so they can be diffcult to see at frst.

Initial signs that you have bugs are either your plants look unhealthy or you may see a sticky substance on your AeroGarden’s Grow Surface.

This is the easiest way we’ve found to get rid of bugs:

1Unplug AeroGarden and remove the Bowl from the Base.

2Carefully lift entire Seed Pod and plant out of the Grow Surface.

Turn plant upside down in a sink and gently run room temperature water over the underside of leaves to rinse bugs off.

Check your plant for any remaining bugs – rinse again if necessary – and then return plant and Seed Pod to the AeroGarden.

6

Check all surrounding plants to make sure bugs haven’t spread. If they have, follow the above steps with any other buggy plants.

Replace Bowl on Base and plug in AeroGarden.
