WhiteFlies (The worst enemy of any garden lovers)
Whiteflies are small hemipterans, which starts and ends its lifecycle beneath the plant leaves. The whiteflies attacks/infect approximately 700 species of plants, poinsettia being the most common host others also includes citrus, allamanda, chinaberry, gardenia, hibiscus and woody plants. These flies are present year-round but their numbers increase during late summer and early fall. Both adults and immature whiteflies feed on the leaves of plants, but the larvae inflict the most damage.

Remedial Measure:
Controlling of whiteflies is difficult and complex as they rapidly develop resistance to chemical pesticides. Yellow sticky insect traps or Insecticidal soap, neem oil, horticultural oil, permethrin, bifenthrin and lambda-cyhalothrin are commonly used to control the whiteflies.

As the mercury levels are dropping in this winter season, below are some useful tips to keep your garden healthy.

Protect them from cold winds: Your plants may get burnt (their leaves actually turn brown) due to the chill. So plant in protected areas - next to the garage wall, or even a hedge, opt for pots that you can move at will, depending on the weather. Also place wood or bamboo stakes next to plants with weak stems to provide support.

Balance the watering: Your plants' water requirements will reduce since there's moisture in the air - don't over water, or the plant may rot. But don't stop watering, or your plants may become weaker, and not survive the cold. Ideally, water early morning, washing the leaves as you go along in order to remove the harmful dew.

Mulch: Use dead leaves to cover the plant bed - it helps prevent dew/frost from seeping into the roots. You can try old newspaper instead of leaves.

Provide shelter: For saplings, get a bamboo or steel frame built by your carpenter, big enough to fit over your plant bed or cluster of pots. Place a plastic sheet on top to cover the greens (it shouldn't touch the ground - there should be space to allow air to circulate, and plants to breathe). Once the saplings become strong, you can transplant them into beds - do this in the evening to allow them to acclimatise better.

Prevent disease: Bugs and insects do not go into hibernation at this time - so get your gardener to immediately spray insecticide if he spots an infected plant. Also tell him to prune shrubs, hedges and trees regularly to avoid bacteria and virus from flourishing (this will also allow your lawn to get adequate sunlight)
