Jen, good old 70% rubbing alcohol will kill green aphids dead, dead, dead. Much less toxic, and cheaper. One thing I learned the hard way; don't spray and then enclose a plant. I didn't know anything could turn mushy and grey that fast.

Give the plant a good spray and let it dry. You'll have to do this several times to get all the hatchlings.

Good luck.

Thanks so much Korina.

I sprayed and let dry well with the alcohol, and will do this often. I just didnt know if it would damage the leaves.

Korina, silly me. I said I was going to make rosemary oil for this challenge. But I have alcohol. Thanks for the tip on the proportion to use--70%. Onward
