Pyrethrins normally don't hurt the plant, and lose their toxicity after a short period of time ... pay close attention to the label directions ... pyrethrins are made from marigolds, and are a safe pesticide when used according to directions ... don't apply anything in the sun, as the sun's rays magnify in the droplets and burn the plant ... you can gently rinse off your plant with plain water, if you think it was over-applied, or just give it a day, and see if it recovers ... likely will snap right back, if the insects did no serious damage ... for the future: foliar-feeding should be done in the early daylight, when the under-leaves' pores are open, pesticides should be sprayed in the waning hours of daylight, when the pores are closed ... good luck :smokin:
the image reaper Reviewed by the image reaper on . Pyrethrin Spray Man sorry guys for all the newbie threads. I realized yesterday I had a thrip problem. Brown spots on some of the older leaves with a shiny slail type trail on the leaves with very small black spots in the browning. I finally saw one of the larvae to clue me into a bug problem. Anyways I went right out bought some pyrethrin insect spray and followed the instruction spray throughly on the top and bottom sides of leaves. Anyhow a day later almost all my new growth has started to curl down Rating: 5
