Houseplant question by Llyr 2011-01-13 14:14:32
I recently adopted an Epipremnum aureum. I like it, and I'm pretty sure it likes me. However, several of its leaves are turning yellow, though they are not dry nor have they gone squishy from root rot. I've noticed incontrovertible evidence of spiders (ie., little spider nest casings, spider webs, and in fact, a little spider), so I'm thinking I may need some pesticides, because either the spiders are eating my plant, or they are eating something that is eating my plant. Can you recommend a good thing to use on a houseplant like this?
