White Fly tips... It's time to bring up that ugly word...White fly. The basics on the white fly are that they ruin our plants by sucking the juice right out of them. First they cut into the main vein of the leaf, and drink all the nutrients themselves, (instead of the plant having them). Then they secrete a sticky, sappy substance that allows mold and fungus to adhere to the leaf. There are a number of ways to detour them: Rinse the underside of the leaves with a powerful stream of water. Put water out for them in a pail. When they go to drink they drown instead. Place yellow paper plates with Vaseline on them around your plants. They will be attracted to the color, and then trapped by the Vaseline.
