Hi, I have several gardenia plants, I woke up this morning and noticed that there are little white flies collecting on the leaves. What should I use to get rid of them? I've never had gardenia's before and not sure what they like and don't like. I usually just use a solution of ivory dish soap and water on my other plants....will this work on the gardenia's or hurt them?

You can try vacuuming them from the leaves. Or use yellow sticky traps or spray with Safers Soap. As a last resort, use pyrethrin, ryania, or rotenone.
