These pests can cause additional problems with your plants if left uncontrolled.
Removing them by hand can be quite difficult and unsafe for the plants, so developing an effective aphid control product can be surprisingly useful.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh tells us how to create a miracle solution that can be made from ingredients in your home medicine cabinet and easily used to combat aphids on plants.
Gather the things you need for work
To produce the miracle solution you will need the following items:
- Spray bottle
- 500 milliliters of water
- 1 tablespoon liquid soap
- 1 tablespoon of strong alcoholic drinks (eg vodka)
- 10 – 15 drops of tea tree essential oil
Create a solution
Add water to a spray bottle, then add liquid soap and strong alcohol and shake until all ingredients are well mixed together.
Then add 10-15 drops of tea tree essential oil to the bottle and shake again.
Apply the solution to the plants
Once the solution is ready, apply it to the plants affected by aphids.
Once you have covered all the areas affected by aphids, leave the solution on the plants for a few hours to allow it to work.
Rinse the plants with water
After the solution has taken effect, you need to give the plants some time (about an hour) to dry out a little.
Then rinse the plants with clean water to remove any plant debris or insects. You can then repeat the steps as needed.
Making a miracle aphid solution from your home medicine cabinet can be a great idea for keeping your plants healthy.
The composition and use of this solution are simple, and the results of aphid control are usually noticeable after the first application.
If you have all the necessary ingredients, you can make your own aphid control spray for indoor or outdoor use.
