Mandevilla eaten by small caterpillars
by Jay Simone
(Florida)
I had 5 beautiful red flowering Mandevilla plants. One of my plants had small orange caterpillars all over it and killed it.
I sprayed insecticide on the other 4 but the caterpillars didn't seem to be bothered by it.
The stick to the leaves and are hard to get off. They have killed all but one plant and I am out there twice a day killing and pulling the caterpillars off.
What can I use to kill them and not kill my plant?
