Clever Tips for Pest Control in Potted Flowers: Easily Drive Away Pests

Balcony plants are basically a decoration every household has, but bugs appearing on the plants you grow is a very frustrating thing, and many friends are amateur growers who do not know how to solve it. Below, let the editor introduce a few rather convenient and safe pest control measures.

1. Cut the leftover soap ends from laundry into small pieces, add water and stir into an alkaline soap solution, then inject a small amount as a spray into the flowerpot; this can effectively kill black flies.

2. Pour flour and whole milk powder into a container at a ratio of 8:1, then add 4.5 times the amount of water and mix well, filter through gauze, and spray the filtrate on the flowers' branches and leaves; this can kill most mites and their eggs.

3. Mix half a teaspoon of detergent with 4 liters of water, and spray the undersides of the leaves once every 5 days until the whiteflies are completely eliminated.

4. Place the flowerpot into a basin of water so that the water level is slightly higher than the surface of the potting soil, and leave it for half an hour to 1 hour; this can suffocate the maggots in the soil to death.

5. Add 20 times the amount of water to chili peppers or chopped oleander leaves, boil for 20 minutes, and after cooling use it to water the flowers or filter out the residue and spray it; this has a fairly good pest control effect. Note that the boiled oleander leaf liquid must be used up in one go to prevent accidental poisoning of people and livestock.

6. Light 1 mosquito coil inside the flowerpot, cover the potted flower with a plastic bag, open a small hole at the top, and fumigate for 1 hour; this can effectively kill butterfly and moth larvae and adults. Spraying with a 1:1000 neutral laundry powder solution has an extremely high kill rate against whitefly. Spraying with a 1:600 essential balm solution can kill over 95% of pests.
