Why does your Capsicum Salsa Orange have tiny black flies? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These tiny flies are the larvae of fungus gnats, which thrive in overly moist organic matter. In Capsicum plants, their larvae feed on delicate root hairs, potentially causing stunted growth or yellowing leaves.
While usually slow-moving, small dark aphids can appear as tiny black dots on new growth. They suck sap from the pepper plant's stems and leaves, often leaving behind a sticky substance called honeydew.
Very small, slender black insects known as thrips can migrate to pepper plants. They cause silvering or scarring on the leaves and can deform the developing orange fruit of the Capsicum salsa.
