Aphids that cover plants suck the juice from the soft tissues of the flower.
As the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh said, the parasite can appear in the house together with a new plant or low-quality soil brought from the store.
Another option is a gift of a bouquet of flowers infested with aphids. Finally, the pest can enter the apartment through a window.
Instead of trying to figure out the reasons why you are forced to meet an uninvited guest, we will tell you about a method that will help you get rid of him.
To do this, you will need to prepare a solution based on regular laundry soap.
If you don't have it, you can replace the soap with any liquid soap or dishwashing detergent. For both options, you'll need 4-5 g per liter of water.
Spray the resulting mixture on the plantings, which will cause a soapy film to form on the leaves, in which the aphids will simply “suffocate.”
Before carrying out the treatment, you will have to rinse the plants under the shower. To avoid flooding the flowers, cover the soil with a bag.
