We believe that many people who raise plants, whether flowering plants, foliage plants, or even kitchen vegetables, must have experienced the problem of pests invading the plants. Some people may use a more convenient method by using pesticides. However, do you know that herbs or things that can be easily found in our homes can also get rid of pests? You don’t need a lot of money, and it also helps prevent the plant from being damaged by too many chemicals. If you want to know if there is any good helper, please follow us!
– Soak alum in water and pour over walkways or ant nests to prevent ants from bringing aphids to the plant.
– Use your hand or a cotton ball to wipe it out. Then spray water to wash all over the plant area.
– Use neem extract to spray the area where the aphids settle.
– Chop Tinospora cordifolia and soak overnight in water, then filter it out. Bring that water to spray the area where the aphids are clinging.
– Use biological agents such as Beauveria fungi mixed with water to spray the area where aphids settle.
– Use a cotton ball moistened with alcohol or nail polish remover to wipe the area where the mealybug has settled.
– Mix tobacco with water and leave it for one night, then filter it out. Bring the water to spray on the area where the mealybugs settle. You could mix chili powder and finely pounded chili to increase the intensity.
– Use white wine mixed with vinegar to spray the area where the mealybug settles. You can also use this formula with other aphids and worms.
– Spray water to chase the area where the moina sticks.
– Use dishwashing liquid mixed with water to spray the area where the moina settled. Use a cotton swab or a makeup brush to brush the moina off.
– Pound the turmeric thoroughly, mix with water, and leave it for 1-2 days. Then, filter the turmeric out and bring the water to spray the area where the moina is located.
– Catch the snail with the bitten leaves, and throw them away to make sure no snail eggs remain in the plant.
– Use wood vinegar to spray the leaves or soil regularly.
– Crush the eggshells and sprinkle them around the soil or the plant plot.
– Sprinkle salt around the plant or dissolve it in water and spray it on the snail.
– Sprinkle tobacco on the snail’s body or mix with water and filter out. Bring the water to spray on the snail. It should be sprayed before dusk, which is the time when the snails start searching for food.
– Catch the worms and throw them away.
– Use white wine mixed with vinegar to spray the area where the worms are attached.
– Chop the neem leaves, citronella, and galangal to pound them together. Mix the water and leave it for one night, then filter it out. Bring the water to spray on the area where the worms settle.
– Use chili powder and finely pounded chili mixed with water, leave it for one night, then filter it out. Bring water to spray the area where the worms are attached.
– Trim the plant to make it airy for ventilation.
– Burn all leaves that have rust or put them in a sealed bag and throw them away.
– Take the finely chopped papaya leaves to mix with a little water. Squeeze out the juice, mix liquid soap and water and spray all over the rusted area. Repeat in 1 week.
– Mix calcium hydroxide with water and leave it for one night. Then, spray the plant every 2-3 days.
Lastly, we have a small trick when accepting new plants into the house for our dearest readers too. We suggest that you should separate the plant somewhere else for 1-2 weeks. Do not combine it with your old plant to see if the plant you have acquired has a pest or disease attached or not. Moreover, it does not spread to other plants and can be corrected promptly if there is any problem. The solutions mentioned above may have to be adapted to suit each plant. If you try to follow these techniques, please let us know how it works 🙂
