aphids attack or something

12 years ago

Checking my babies this morning and surprise!! Adult plants a couple of years old, beheaded and just now starting to regenerate leaves. Little pale green pearls along leaf stem on the underside of leaf. Sprayed with a dish soap/ water mix and crossed fingers.(hope). No camera so no picture.

I've used dish soap with a little bit of rubbing alcohol and and I've gotten rid of aphid and spider mites. I've used it on mealy bugs too but they are much more difficult to control.

I hope you have success with your spray. I would spray again in a few days to ensure you get any eggs they may have laid.
