  • Courgette Plant Pests

    Hello Everyone.I am new here.
    I am growing courgettes in Pots.Currently they are in 6 inch diameter pots and the leaves have grown just about 6 inches.This morning I saw some tiny brown what looked like larvae on the core stem of one of the plants and few on one other.I just wiped them off.But do I need to do more ?What are these ?Thanks
    Do they benefit from bark chipping mulching?

    P S I would like to continue growing courgettes in pots so I can have day to day control as opposed to putting them on my allotment.

    How big pots I should put these plants into?

    Where are you? UK? Or do you have more exotic pests on your courgette plants? (if you edit your profile, your location will show up over there >>>>>>>


    Big pots for courgettes. The plants are about a metre wide & high

          No idea, sorry. A photo would definitely help, in future.
          When you say larvae, do you mean like a caterpillar?

          Wouldn't do any harm

            I grow courgettes in pots and have found over the years they need something like a 18" diameter pots to grow well.
