What are some common pests and diseases that affect sweet peas?

Our Advice:

Sweet peas can be susceptible to a range of pests and diseases, including aphids, thrips, spider mites, powdery mildew, and botrytis. Regularly inspect your plants for signs of infestation or disease, and take action as soon as you notice a problem. Use a mild insecticidal soap to control pests, and remove any infected plant material to prevent the spread of disease. It's also important to provide good air circulation and avoid overcrowding to prevent disease.
