Just bought flowers and they've attracted pests? Crush some garlic, spray it on to repel insects and boost growth

Fellow plant lovers, have you ever felt that the lush potted plants or flowering trees you bought at the flower shop start to wither not long after you bring them home, and gradually even the leaves begin to turn yellow and wrinkle? Many friends might think they've been cheated. Don't panic just yet - take a close look and see whether the plant has bugs on it.

Many friends have this concern: if you spray insecticide on a plant that already has bugs, you worry it might affect the plant's growth. And if there are young children at home, you worry even more that they might play with the insecticide and cause unnecessary harm. So many plants just get thrown away like this. But that way, not only is there a small financial loss, more importantly it also affects our mood.

The editor here actually has a clever trick. We all know that garlic is an essential seasoning in kitchen cooking, and it can warm the stomach, strengthen digestion, and relieve gas. But many friends don't know that garlic can also be used to get rid of insects! Today the editor will tell you how to make a "green insecticide" with garlic. I hope it helps friends who love growing plants.

1. First, after choosing the garlic, peel it and take out the cloves. You don't need many, just enough as you see fit.

2. Then put the mashed garlic into a suitable-sized container (a small bowl), add cooled boiled water, and soak for 24 hours. Then mash them into garlic paste.

3. After soaking for 24 hours, we can use a strainer to separate the garlic paste from the garlic water, then dilute the garlic water - 3 times is enough. If you feel the garlic smell is too strong, you can also appropriately lower the concentration.

After completing the above steps, we can pour the prepared garlic water into a spray bottle and use it. We just need to aim at the places on the plant where there are bugs and spray an appropriate amount, and that's it. Because the effect builds up slowly, you may not see results immediately at first, but if we spray the garlic water for 3 consecutive days, there will be an obvious effect!

This "green insecticide" is safe and non-toxic, and its ingredients are simple and easy to get. Friends who need it can try it at home. When you see a plant revived through your own efforts, that feeling of joy is irreplaceable!
