Things You'll Need
4.2 oz fresh garlic
2 tbsp paraffin oil
0.7 oz natural soap powder
16 fl.oz water
Systemic Houseplant and Container Granules
Chop the garlic and mix the next three ingredients with the garlic in a bucket or a large bowl. Let it rest for two days. Strain the solution and pour it in a spray bottle.
Spray the garlic solution on the plant. Spray directly on the parts infected with aphids. Spray on both the top and bottom of leaves.
Sprinkle about 4 tsp. of Systemic Houseplant and Container Granules on the soil and water the plant. The plant will absorb the granules and fight the aphid infestation itself.
