How to deal with pests easily when growing flowers in summer? Spray a little of this and you won't have to worry about pest damage
Summer, needless to say, everyone must have experienced it deeply: it is extremely hot, even the air is hot, and this kind of weather easily makes the ventilation conditions poor for plants grown at home, which then breeds a lot of pests. Besides the hot weather, I think this is probably the thing people dislike most about summer.
So today the editor will share some clever tips with everyone to wipe out these pests! This summer, make your home cool and refreshing, and no pests will invade anymore! Everyone must read carefully, I hope it will be helpful to you!
The first one, soapy water. We only need to place a small basin of soapy water where the plants are grown at home. Soap contains fatty acids, and if it decomposes after meeting water, it will form a natural waxy coating. As soon as pests touch it, they will dehydrate and die.
We only need to dissolve soap in water until the pH reaches 1~2 (can be tested with pH test paper), and dissolve it with soft water such as cool boiled water. A small amount of sugar water can also be added to the soapy water, so that pests can be attracted.
The second one, buy a sticky pest trap board and place it under the potted plants. These pests will smell the scent and be attracted over, thus getting stuck, which will have a very good effect. Moreover, using sticky pest trap boards is also a very eco-friendly way to kill pests!
The third one, garlic water. Garlic water has also been mentioned many times by the editor in previous articles. It is a great helper for growing plants! The method of making this garlic water is the same as described before: we only need to mash an appropriate amount of garlic into garlic paste, then soak it in boiled water for 24 hours. After soaking, filter out the garlic water with a filter gauze. When watering, we only need to dilute the garlic water with water again and apply it to the potted plants.
Today the editor has taught just these few methods, I hope it will be helpful to everyone! If you have any other methods, you can share them with everyone in the comments below!
