🌱 Natural Ways to Control Pests on Plants 🍋

Many houseplants and garden plants suffer from small insects that damage leaves and stems 🍃. These pests can include whiteflies, spider mites, aphids, or tiny caterpillars. While chemical pesticides can work, they often harm the plant’s health and the environment 🌍.

Natural sprays are an effective and safe way to keep your plants healthy. In the image, you can see an example of a homemade natural spray 🏠. This spray protects plants without strong chemicals ⚡ and keeps leaves fresh and healthy 🌿✨.

Ingredients for a Natural Spray:

Lemon juice 🍋

Warm water 💧

A few drops of natural liquid soap 🧼

Some plant-based oil, such as neem oil or olive oil 🌿

How to Prepare:

Mix one cup of warm water with a teaspoon of lemon juice.

Add a few drops of liquid soap and plant oil.

Shake well until the mixture is fully blended and ready to use.

How to Apply:

Spray all sides of the leaves, including the undersides, where pests like to hide 🌿💦.

It’s best to spray early in the morning or at sunset to avoid burning the leaves in direct sunlight ☀️.
