Real Christmas Tree was created by Adele

Posted 5 years 4 months ago #45861
Hello! For family political reasons we may get a real Christmas Tree this year. Last Fall, we bought our first Ficus Nerifolia. Our ficus, whom we call Fiscus, is doing well in spite of the ignorance of her new owners. Would there be any danger of an insect infestation if we were to have a real Christmas Tree? Thanks very much!

There is always danger when bringing new trees home, but...
Insecticides and fungicides can be used as a preventive measure.

Thank you so much, Clicio. Are there any pesticides that you would recommend?

Get something specific for that what has infected your plant.

Or Google.

Seems unlikely to me that bugs from the tree will infect your house plant.
