Sprinkle wood ash in the flower pot, the bugs die off completely, and the flowers burst into full bloom

Wood ash

Wood ash is the ash left after plants and wood are burned. It can efficiently kill red spider mites, aphids, scale insects and more, and can also wipe out powdery mildew on roses, rhododendrons and the like! You can burn some dry twigs and dry grass yourself to get wood ash, or buy it online.

Sprinkle it directly into the pot

1. Dig a hole in the pot

Dig a hole some distance away from the flower's roots, 5-10 cm deep is fine. If the pot is relatively large, you can dig 2-4 small holes.

2. Sprinkle the wood ash into the hole

Grab a handful of wood ash, sprinkle it directly into the hole, then cover it back up with soil, pour on a small amount of water, and it can effectively cure powdery mildew on roses, rhododendrons and the like. Or simply sprinkle the wood ash directly onto the diseased branches and leaves, which can also effectively kill pests; spray and wash the leaves the next day.

Spray wood ash water

1. Soak the wood ash in clean water

Take some wood ash, put it into a clean plastic bottle, then pour in 10 times its volume of clean water, put the cap on, shake well, and let it sit for 8 hours.

2. Spray it on the flowers

Put the relatively clear upper layer of wood ash water into a spray bottle, and spray it directly on the branches and leaves of the flowers, focusing on the spots with pests and diseases. Spray twice a month, the bugs will all die off, and the flowers will grow strong and sturdy.

Bamboo charcoal

The bamboo charcoal packets usually kept in the fridge or car can also effectively prevent pests and diseases, so don't just throw them away. Some flower growers have saved up quite a few bamboo charcoal packets at home, perfect for use in growing flowers.

1. Pour out the bamboo charcoal pieces

If the bamboo charcoal at home is in relatively large chunks, then you need to break it into small pieces first.

2. Sprinkle it into the pot

Sprinkle the bamboo charcoal into the pot, a thin layer is enough. It can not only effectively sterilize and prevent pests and diseases, but also improve the soil's water permeability and air permeability and release various minerals, making the flowers grow vigorously.

Cigarette ash

The cigarette ash flicked off when smoking and the leftover cigarette butts contain tar, and tar itself is toxic. It can kill aphids, woodlice and the like, and quite a few flower growers have already reported pest-killing results after using it.

Sprinkle cigarette ash on the pot surface

1. Sprinkle cigarette ash on the pot surface

If someone at home smokes, you might as well collect the cigarette ash. When you find aphids on the flowers or woodlice in the pot, you can directly sprinkle the cigarette ash onto the pot surface.

2. Pour on water

After sprinkling the cigarette ash on the pot surface, pour on some water to let the cigarette ash seep into the soil. This can effectively kill the adult insects and eggs in the soil.

Spray cigarette butt water

1. Soak the cigarette butts in clean water

Put the cigarette butts into a clean bottle, pour in clean water to soak them, and after 2 days, when the clean water turns dark brown, the pest-killing components in the cigarette butts will have dissolved into the water.

2. Filter the cigarette butt water and spray it directly on the flowers

First filter the cigarette butt water once, then pour in 30 times its volume of clean water. You can pour it directly into the flower pot, or put it into a spray bottle and spray it on the flowers, and the bugs will all die off. Just water with it twice a month.

Tree of heaven leaves

Tree of heaven leaves are fairly common in green belts. The special odor given off by the leaves can repel insects and sterilize, and they also contain various highly effective pest-killing components such as flavonoids, so the tree of heaven itself rarely suffers from pests and diseases. Huahua will teach you how to use tree of heaven leaves to kill pests on flowers!

1. Pick fresh tree of heaven leaves

Go to the wild or a green belt and pick some fresh tree of heaven leaves, picking as many as possible.

2. Mash the tree of heaven leaves

Find an old garlic pounder, first cut the tree of heaven leaves into pieces, then put them into the garlic pounder and mash them into a paste, add 3 times their volume of clean water, and soak for 2 days to let the pest-killing components in the tree of heaven leaves dissolve into the water.

3. Spray it directly on the flowers

You can pour the tree of heaven leaf water directly into the soil, or first filter out the residue, put it into a spray bottle, and spray it on the spots with pests and diseases. Spray twice a day for 5 days in a row, and aphids, cabbage caterpillars and the like will all die off!

Cinnamon powder

Many people have cinnamon powder at home; for example, they add a little cinnamon powder when baking bread or making soup. Cinnamon powder's pest-killing effect is also quite good, and it can effectively kill fungus gnats, fruit flies and the like.

1. Sprinkle it into the soil

Sprinkle a handful of cinnamon powder into the pot, and it can effectively kill and get rid of fungus gnats, fruit flies and the like, including the eggs in the soil.

2. Get rid of ants

Sprinkle a little cinnamon powder into the flower pot or around it, and it can effectively drive away ants.

Neem tree leaves

Neem trees are generally planted on both sides of roads or in garden green belts. Neem tree leaves contain azadirachtin, and quite a few pesticides have their pest-killing components extracted from the neem tree. Compared with pesticides, using neem tree leaves to kill pests is more eco-friendly and safe!

1. Mash the neem tree leaves

Pick more fresh neem tree leaves; the more emerald green and tender the leaves, the more azadirachtin they contain and the better the pest-killing effect. Pick plenty of leaves, 3 jin would be even better, and after mashing them, add an equal amount of clean water.

2. Pour it into the soil or spray it on the leaves

You can pour the neem tree leaves with the added water directly into the soil, or first filter out the residue, put it into a spray bottle, and spray it directly on cabbage caterpillars, aphids and red spider mites, and the bugs will all die off!

Chili peppers

The capsaicin contained in chili peppers can effectively kill fungus gnats, natural and pollution-free, so you no longer have to be troubled by fungus gnats!

1. The hotter the chili pepper, the faster it kills pests

Dried chili peppers or fresh chili peppers are both fine, as long as they are hot enough, such as facing-heaven chili. Some green peppers are not spicy, and their pest-killing effect is also poor.

2. Chop the chili peppers

Use a knife to chop the chili peppers; it is best to wear gloves to prevent your hands from burning, and also be careful not to let the chili pepper juice splash into your eyes. Put the chopped chili peppers into water and soak for 5 hours.

3. Filter and spray

Use gauze to filter the chili pepper water, throw away the chili skins, chili seeds and the like, then add 50 times its volume of clean water, then put it into a spray bottle and spray it directly on the branches and leaves with fungus gnats. The fungus gnats are killed and fall all over the ground, it really feels so good!
