Why does your Capsicum annuum Tango Deep Orange have tiny black flies? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
The most common culprit for tiny black flies in pepper plants; their larvae live in the potting medium and feed on organic matter and fine root hairs, which can weaken young Tango Pepper seedlings.
While typically seen as slow-moving insects on stems, their presence can attract secondary flies or scavengers; they suck sap from the tender growth of the pepper plant.
Similar to fungus gnats but often associated with even higher moisture levels in the soil, targeting the decaying organic matter around the pepper's root zone.
