Pesticide applications in interiorscape settings usually involve treating which parts of the plant?

In interiorscape settings, pesticide applications are typically focused on the above-ground parts of the plant and the growing medium. This is because pests can reside on the leaves, stems, and flowers, while the growing medium might also harbor pests such as soil-dwelling insects or pathogens. Treating only the roots, soil, or leaves in isolation would not effectively manage pest populations, as they can exist in multiple parts of the plant ecosystem. By targeting both the above-ground plant parts and the growing medium, a more comprehensive approach to pest management is achieved, ensuring that both visible pests and those hidden within the soil are addressed effectively.
