A common problem faced by flower growers is midges circling over flower pots.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , such a nuisance usually occurs as a result of over-moistening of the soil lump.
In addition, the soil used can also provoke the appearance of insects if it is of poor quality.
Therefore, arm yourself with advice for the future: indoor plants should definitely “live” in pots with holes in the bottom, as well as a drainage layer inside. If the quality of the soil is in doubt, keep it in the oven before use.
But if midges have already appeared, of course, there can be no talk of prevention.
In such a situation, it is worth doing everything possible to get rid of insects. And, oddly enough, preparations based on Dalmatian chamomile (pyrethrum) will help with this.
You have complete freedom of action: either brew the herb as tea and use the resulting infusion to spray flowers and soil, or sprinkle the contents of the pot with Dalmatian chamomile.
As plant growers claim “from experience”, this method works after the first use.
