What's eating my bridal veil plant?

Bridal Veil Plant (Gibasis pellucida) is most commonly troubled by spider mites, which thrive in the warm, dry air of indoor spaces and rapidly colonise the fine trailing stems. Aphids attack tender new growth, and fungus gnats breed in overly moist soil. Misting the foliage and maintaining good airflow significantly reduces risk.

Tiny pale specks on delicate leaves, fine webbing between stems; leaves yellow and drop in heavy infestations Shower the plant thoroughly; apply insecticidal soap or neem oil spray every 5–7 days; raise humidity around the plant

Small soft insects on new shoot tips and flower buds; sticky honeydew residue and distorted growth Remove with a strong water jet or insecticidal soap spray; repeat weekly until fully clear

Larvae feed on hair roots in moist soil, causing wilting; adults are a persistent nuisance Allow the top inch of soil to dry before re-watering; use yellow sticky traps and BTi soil drench to break the lifecycle
