Quick Question about my plant

[JF1SHER]

Hey I got a plant right now and its going great outdoors, but recently some bugs have been eating some small holes in the tops leaves, any suggestions about what I should put on the leaves or around the plant?

there are a lot of different bug sprays out there ive heard neem oil works well.... and for slugs a copper wire ring around the stems prevents access.

ya i mean it just looks like little flies or ghats or somethin like that but i guess i can try a bug spray, but i dont know which ones effects the plant and which ones are good

how old are your plants?

How small is your plant? I put mine out at about 2 ft. They can handle anykind of small animal nibbling or bugs. I have similar problems every year. I use Safer all purpose bug killer

Works alright. I use it twice a week as needed. I'm trying praying mantises this year. I got 5 egg cases ready to hatch.

i would be on the offencesive with plants that small. They can't take to much abuse.

I'll just wait a little and see what happens, but it if keeps up or gets worse than ill have to ask for some more help, but thanks for the advice

Alright, so i decided to go with my better judgement and try some sort of bug spray i got, and basically everywhere there was bug spray it is now drooping and somewhat gray and this is probably the majority of the plany, but some places are still green that didnt get the spray, AM I DONE FOR or what should i do?
