Growing outdoors in the summer, pests inevitably find their way to my patio. Do any of you who grow outdoors use other plants to "host" pests? Seems that regardless of treatments, the little buggers want to stick around. As an example of what I'm considering, hares foot ferns tend to be scale and mealy magnets and are a dime a dozen just about anywhere. If the orchids were to be treated and neighboring ferns not, I'd expect that the pests would find the ferns infinitely more appealing and stay off the orchids.Posted via Mobile Device
