Hello. I have a few plants in my backyard that until a few days ago where doing great! Now two of them have leaves turning brown and rottting! I suspect it has to do with all the ants and little flying bugs running around the soil. All plants are potted btw. And i live in southern california, orange county if that helps at all. If anyone is able to id them could you please also post a natural solution to kill them and keep more from coming back? Thanks!
