How can I safely get rid of ants in my planters? I have tried diatomaceous earth with no luck. These are the fastest ants I’ve ever seen.

The plant appears to have very little foliage, which could indicate a problem with the soil, lighting, or watering. Some possible issues and solutions include: 1. Soil: If the soil is poorly drained or has too much or too little moisture, it can cause wilting and other problems. To improve soil drainage, add perlite or coarse sand to the mix, or amend the soil with compost to improve its structure. 2. Lighting: If the plant is not getting enough light, it may not thrive or flower well. Move the pot to a sunnier location or provide more artificial light. 3. Watering: Over-watering can cause root rot, while under-watering can cause wilting. Adjust the watering schedule according to the plant's needs and the weather conditions. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. 4. Pest or disease: Check the plant for any signs of pests or diseases, such as whiteflies or powdery mildew. Treat the plant with insecticides or fungicides if necessary. 5. Pruning: Prune the plant to remove any dead or damaged foliage, or to shape it up. This will encourage new growth and help the plant to bloom.
You can try spraying with an insecticide like neem oil
