Greenfly now?!

Just in my greenhouse which i keep heated between 5-10C....looking at my pelargoniums and noticed greenfly and whitefly on them!! Is that normal at this time of year???

Should i move the pelargoniums to my cold frame instead?

 

I find greenfly fairly common on protected plants at this time of the year.
I keep an aerosol spray handy as I hate wetting plants that are basically dormant and in cool conditions.

 

Thanks @pete first time having a heated greenhouse so wasn't sure. Although the pelargoniums haven't gone dormant....they've all kept flowering!

 

Yeah, pelargoniums dont really go dormant as such, just a few sunny days and they perk up, I assume you are keeping them fairly dry at the roots?
Best to tackle the greenfly now, as the population will explode come March in the greenhouse.

 

Yep-minimal watering. Only a dribble when they've gone bone dry. Turned out only two had greenfly/white fly. Chucked hem outside in an empty cold frame after spraying them. Sprayed everything else in the greenhouse too just in case.

 

I had Greenfly on Cannas in my unheated greenhouse until I got fed up with waiting for them to die down (both Canna leaves and Greenflies), so I cut them down to soil level and got rid of them both.

 

I often get greenfly at this time of year on the freesias in the unheated greenhouse.

 

I`ve seen some whitefly in my unheated polytunnel in the past week.
