General caution should be used when spraying an insecticide like Talstar P to certain types of plants, including tropical plants. You may consider using a product like Bonide Systemic Granules which are convenient, ready to use granules that provide effective, long lasting insect control for up to 8 weeks. This product is excellent for indoor houseplant use with no odor, no spray, no mess formula, and is labeled to kill tough houseplant pests like fungus gnats, mealybugs, whiteflies, thrips, and aphids. The s systemic action of this product means that it is absorbed through the roots and moves throughout the plant and even protects new growth.
