Fluoride and calcium will restore damaged tissue, and the minty aroma will repel pests. But do not use bleaching pastes - they will kill the flowers.

And if there are midges in the soil, anti-dandruff shampoo will help.

Dilute 1 cap in 500 ml of water and water the soil. Selenium in the composition will destroy the larvae, and the plant will receive a portion of microelements.

Another life hack is activated carbon tablets. Crush them and sprinkle the soil in the pots. The carbon will absorb excess moisture and protect the roots from fungus.

But the most unexpected secret is a deodorant spray. If the plants are attacked by aphids, spray the product from a distance of 30 cm.

The alcohol in the composition will kill the insects, and the aroma will interrupt their sense of smell. Just do not get it on the flowers - some deodorants can leave stains.

Have you tried using bath salts?

Dissolve a pinch in water and water the cacti. Magnesium and essential oils will strengthen their spines.

And don't forget about an old toothbrush! It can be used to clean dust off leaves or gently remove spider mites.

Let us remember that folk remedies most often work when used regularly and as a preventative measure.

In advanced cases, professionals advise using industrial products that are guaranteed to deal with pathogens, insect pests and their larvae.

Moreover, using industrial means, it is possible to accurately calculate an effective and safe dosage for plants.
