Identifying Pests:

  • Recognize mealybugs, small grayish or whitish insects that hide on the undersides of leaves.
  • Identify aphids, tiny insects that cluster on plants and feed on sap.
  • Look for snails, which can devour leaves and fruits, leaving a slimy trail.

The Power of Nature:

  • Use ashes: Mix one-third of ashes with hot water and mild soap. Apply on leaves to repel pests.
  • Other natural ingredients: Soak garlic cloves in water for 24 hours to make a spray, or mix vinegar with water in a spray bottle. Diluted milk is also effective.

Process and Maintenance:

  • Regularly apply the solutions to the leaves, especially where pests congregate.
  • Repeat weekly for at least a month for lasting results.

Conclusion:

  • By using these natural methods, you protect your plants and create a safer and more sustainable environment.
