Growing flowers easily attracts mosquitoes? Add this, and mosquitoes will turn around and flee when they smell it
Spray some mint water, and all the aphids die off!
Every time Huahua sees dense swarms of aphids at home, she always feels like getting goosebumps all over. Some flower lovers always feel that no matter how they kill aphids, they never die. What should be done? Why not try mint spray!
How to use:
1. If you have mint at home, pick a handful of mint leaves, chop them up, then squeeze out the juice to get mint juice.
2. Find a clean bottle, add about 10 drops of mint juice and 10ml of medicinal alcohol, then finally add 500ml of water and stir evenly. (500ml of water is roughly the amount of water in one standard mineral water bottle)
3. Spray the mixed mint alcohol solution directly onto the plants with aphids. Remember to spray both the front and back sides. Use it about once a week, and you can kill the aphids!
4. If you do not have fresh mint at home, mint essential oil can also achieve the same effect. Because mint contains insecticidal ingredients, and medical alcohol can destroy the body structure of aphids, so the effect of killing aphids is still quite good.
Put a coin in a plastic bag, and flies will never come in again!
A few days ago, Huahua passed by the neighborhood and saw many neighbors hanging plastic bags on their windowsills. From a distance, they flashed brightly. What was going on? Later Huahua learned that it was originally to prevent flies!
How to use:
1. Prepare a clean, leak-proof plastic bag. A plastic glove also works. Fill the plastic bag with clean water.
2. Then prepare 3-5 clean coins. One-yuan coins are fine. Just throw them directly into the plastic bag filled with water.
3. Tie the plastic bag tightly and hang it directly by the window, and it can stop flies from coming in!
4. Why can coins plus water stop flies from coming in? Because flies have compound eyes, and the plastic bag filled with water and coins will scatter light. To us people, it looks fine, but flies will find it terrifying, so they do not dare fly toward the window and therefore cannot enter the home! Flower lovers can give it a try!
Spray some onion water, and all the red spider mites are gone!
What is the hardest insect to kill? It must be the red spider mite! Kill one and another appears, over and over again, making people endlessly annoyed! Summer has just arrived, so why not try onions!
How to use:
1. Buy a fresh onion from the supermarket, then chop the onion. If conditions allow, crushing it is best. If you are worried about your eyes stinging when cutting the onion, you can cut the onion in water.
2. Mix the onion and clean water in a 1:50 ratio into a solution, put it in a container and soak it for about 24 hours or more, so the onion fully soaks in the water.
3. After soaking for 24 hours, filter out the onion residue. Spray the remaining onion water directly onto the plants. Remember to spray both the front and back sides. It takes only about 3-5 times to make all the red spider mites disappear!
4. Onions have a strong, pungent odor, which for red spider mites can achieve a very good repellent effect. Remember to spray multiple times for the best effect.
Grow a pot of mosquito-repellent plants, and all the mosquitoes are scared away!
The most annoying thing in summer must still be those endless mosquitoes! But many flower lovers do not want to use pesticides at home. What should be done? Today Huahua will teach everyone to grow a few pots of mosquito-repellent plants!
How to use:
1. Mosquito-repellent geranium
If you want to repel mosquitoes, mosquito-repellent geranium is the first choice. Because the fragrance of mosquito-repellent geranium contains citronellal, and the higher the temperature, the stronger the scent this substance releases, and the stronger the mosquito-repellent effect. Basically, placing 1-2 pots in each room is enough.
2. Night-blooming jasmine
After night-blooming jasmine blooms, its scent is very strong. Just place one pot by the window, and mosquitoes will not dare come near all night. But the scent of night-blooming jasmine is too strong, so it is best to place it on a balcony or a ventilated window. If placed in the bedroom, it may cause insomnia!
3. Mugwort
Flower lovers who have mugwort at home should definitely not waste it. Dry the mugwort and then put it directly in a pot to boil in water, letting the scent spread throughout the room, or put the mugwort water in a spray bottle and spray it on the plants. Basically, it can repel mosquitoes!
Spray some essential balm + floral water, and all the small moths run away!
Summer easily attracts small moths. Especially for flower lovers, it often attracts some moth and butterfly larvae. At this time, we need essential balm and floral water to come to the rescue!
How to use:
1. Prepare a clean bottle, drip in about 5-10 drops of essential balm, then also add 5-10 drops of floral water.
2. Finally, add 600-800 times clean water to the bottle, mix the 2 solutions evenly, put it in a spray bottle and spray it directly onto the plants!
3. Mixed together, essential balm and floral water can not only provide a strong mosquito-repellent effect, but also have a super insecticidal effect on those moth and butterfly larvae! Everyone might as well give it a try!
Sprinkle some ash on the pot surface, and all the snails are scared away!
The continuous heavy rain in the past few days has caused snails to appear in many flower lovers' homes. Especially for those with small gardens, the yards have even become overrun with snails!
How to use:
1. Sprinkle lime
Snails are afraid of being flooded, so after rain, basically all snails crawl out. Therefore, we can usually sprinkle a layer of lime on the surface of the potting soil. If a snail accidentally touches the lime, it will lose water in its body and die. Over time, the flowers at home will be free from snail gnawing. But note not to sprinkle lime on the leaves.
2. Sprinkle some plant ash
In the evening, sprinkle dry plant ash directly on the stems and leaves of the flowers and plants. You can choose to spray water on the leaves first and then sprinkle some, so the snails will not crawl onto the flowers to gnaw them!
3. Sprinkle some crushed eggshells
Crush the eggshells from home and throw them directly onto the pot surface. Because the edges of eggshells are relatively sharp, when snails crawl over the eggshells, it will cut their skin, so they will never crawl onto the flowerpot again!
Spray some Sichuan pepper + chili water, and all the fungus gnats run away!
Speaking of fungus gnats, that is definitely a pain in the hearts of flower growers. No matter how you kill them, they never die, and after a while they appear again! Do not be afraid. Today Huahua will teach everyone to use Sichuan pepper and chili to kill fungus gnats, leaving no future trouble at all!
How to use:
1. Flower lovers who have Sichuan pepper at home, grab a handful of Sichuan pepper, put it in a pot, then add 3 times the clean water and boil.
2. Buy some fresh chili at the market. About 5 is enough. Then throw them directly into the pot and boil them together with the Sichuan pepper for about half an hour. If you find it troublesome, you can also squeeze the chili into juice before use.
3. Use a strainer to filter out the chili and Sichuan pepper. Dilute the remaining Sichuan pepper and chili solution with 10 times water, and spray it directly onto the leaves. After about 3-5 consecutive sprays, it can completely kill both the fungus gnats and the fungus gnat eggs!
