A garden decorated with bright tulips looks truly beautiful. If you want to plant these flowers in your flower beds, take care of their safety - like any other plants, tulips are susceptible to attacks by a variety of pests.
For this reason, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises treating tulip bulbs with special agents before planting.
Forgot about the treatment? No problem – there are other reliable methods that will help scare away harmful insects.
Pepper
Black pepper is rich in capsaicin, which in turn is a natural repellent for many pests.
Therefore, you can sprinkle the soil in the flower bed with this spice, or you can prepare a solution of a liter of clean water and 1 tablespoon of ground black pepper and a small amount of liquid soap.
The solution should be sprayed on the leaves and stems of tulips.
Mustard
In this case, to prepare a parasite-repellent solution, you will need 1 liter of clean water and 2-3 tablespoons of mustard powder.
After all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, the mixture is applied to the plants by spraying.
Mulching
Mulch placed around tulips not only prevents weeds from appearing, but also retains moisture in the soil and prevents the proliferation of many pests.
