M S Smith Posted October 23, 2003 Jeez, and here I thought you would be discussing Oreocereus, Pilocereus, Espostoa, or Cephalocereus, the true old man cactus'. But just to aid you a bit in your growing, from what I understand fungus gnat larvae LOVE to eat these plants from the root up into the plant, so at the first sign of them flying about I would probably give the soil a once over with pyrethrins.

planthelper Posted October 23, 2003 i have been told to use mesurall against gnats. phyretrum is only effective against some of the life cycle of the sciarid flys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M S Smith Posted October 24, 2003 Hey planthelper, yeah, use the pyrethrins to kill the larvae that are chewing up the roots. Works good for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
