    Is anyone have any knowledge of a systemic that can be added to plant water?

    As an insecticide for scale. The plant is not edible. I have a systemic but I don't want to use it inside. I use it outside for rhododendrons. Too many caution statements to use it inside.

    Look for the Jobe's fertilizer sticks that have an insecticide in them. Those are okay for indoor use. At least they used to make them. I haven't looked for them lately, so I am not 100% positive if they still market them.

    While Jobe's looks to be unavailable, Bayer has a similar product. They are in aisle 219A7743bl of amazon's warehouse. :)

    Thank you for pointing the right direction. The plants might even appreciate the fertilizer.
