First, you need to prepare 100 ml of milk.

You need to add half a cube of iodine to it (it is better to draw it up using a syringe).

Once both components are thoroughly mixed, they need to be diluted with a liter of clean water.

Then you can move on to spraying roses and other plants that have been affected by aphids.

This composition not only fights parasites, but also serves as a preventative against fungal diseases.
