Why does your Mini Rose Red Ricco Amorina have tiny black flies? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
The larvae of these flies live in the top layer of soil and feed on organic matter and decaying roots. In miniature roses, frequent watering schedules often create the moist environment they require to thrive.
Excessive moisture in the small pots used for 'Red Ricco Amorina' creates a perfect breeding ground for fungus gnats. It also leads to anaerobic conditions that can cause the delicate root system of miniature roses to rot.
If there is a buildup of decomposing mulch or old, decaying rose petals on the soil surface, it provides both food and habitat for flies. Miniature roses benefit from clean soil surfaces to prevent fungal pathogens.
