Oooo niice plants!! =D

I've dealt with aphid infestations before...soapy water in a spray bottle, followed by a rinse with another spray bottle is how I was able to deal with it...also...ants.

Ant baits and looking for and dealing with ants. Aphids and ants go hand in hand.

Lots of folks find aphids more of a nuisance than an actual pest, but that may be because there are worse pests out there that your plants can actually succumb to. I hear it's not often that plants are killed off by aphids, unless they are weak to begin with, but it sure stunts the new growth, is unsightly and really....NOT something I relish dealing with.

Especially indoors with no natural enemies...speaking of which, ladybugs. Maybe a search on beneficial insects in your area (timing and conditions may be important) might help in the long term.

Good luck with it, looking forward to hear how you made out & what worked for you.

hookilau, thank you for your great advice.. Dumb Me, always thinks the worst and plans to use expensive and toxic chemicals when it seems that the simple solution is just as effective.. I will arm myself with the spray bottles this very minute to combat this scourge on my beloved plants.

One thing to mention, keep treated plants in shade for a few days. I think I remember something about not wanting to leave soapy spray on the plants, but could be just succulents. Either way, can't go wrong with being cautious, spritz with clear water following the soapy treatment.
