Castile soap has worked the best for my plants even better is eucalyptus or peppermint Castile soap. Hydrogen peroxide mixed with water when watering my plants helps too💕✝️🙋🏻♀️
I use rubbing alcohol diluted with water in a spray bottle. The only pests I've ever dealt with are spider mites. I would also recommend quarantining new plants for a week or 2 and especially getting the affected plant/s away from your other plants.
My grandfather was a market gardener and he always used soapy water all of his life for controlling these pests
Right neem oil. But you're supposed to also add dish soap to this so that the neem oil could actually combine with water. So kill me now
Youre like the Bill Nye The Science Guy of plants!! I love it! Always instantly click play when I see a new video 👏🏾💗🌿
It's amazing how people have always believed what they see on TV or the internet instantly. Like lies don't stick on those mediums!
I read soap nuts are plant friendly and will start to use it on my plants. It really is multifunctionally as I use it as a bodywash, shampoo, household cleaner, laundry and washing dishes. It's cheap and environmentally friendly. Love from UK
Flee shampoo for pets.
Neem is my insecticide of choice. I just had to use it this morning, in fact, on a plant in my garden that spider mites have attacked. Though surrounding plants weren't showing signs of the bugs, I went ahead and treated them to be on the safe side. I've found Neem to work fabulously when used right.
Being a hairstylist I know all to well the destructive nature of sodium hydroxide. The active ingredient in hair relaxers. It’s basically lye that we use to unclog our sinks! 😱
I took a flower arranging class in high school and the instructor told us one of the best ways to keep the flowers alive longer was to put a bit of dish soap into hot water and put the plants in that. She basically explained that dish soap affects the water and makes it into even tinier molecules and that’s how it cleans dishes so well, and when used on cut flowers it allows them to absorb even more water since the water’s composition is even smaller, and the warmer the water is, the easier they absorb it. I was pretty skeptical, but it does work. Especially if you cut the bottoms off at an angle every few days when they scab over so the flower can continue sucking up the water through its stem..
Hello Richard, interesting video, thanks. About two years ago, I was digging into the Neem-complex and stumbled over a video, comparing different substances on a standardized group of insects. Neem oil had no affect in this test. As dish soap won over the commercial pest repellent as contact killer, the author concluded that Neem oil has its good reputation unjustly, because it is sold with a detergent included or the instructions tell the user to add dish soap to emulgate oil and water.
10 seconds in and straight to answer. Thank you brother.
Neem oil spray needs 3 ingredients , neem oil, water and emulsifier. The most accessible emulsifiers are mild dish soaps or sometimes a castile soap. Without a emulsifier, the neem spray will not work because we all know oil and water do not mix.
Great information!! I use a garlic & 70% Isopropyl alcohol mixture with a drop of Dawn dish detergent! Works a treat for me!
Perfect timing. I was starting to consider using dish soap in my garden but was wondering if it would have ill effects. This saved me a bunch of research. Speaking of saving, I've been drying orange peels for a different purpose. Now I have a use for the extras. Wonderful!
I use Dr. Bronner's Pure Castille soap in water to spray my plants. It is very effective, not harmful to the plants, and no detergents or chemicals. I wonder if it is available in the EU.
this is the most informative video you ever made !! thank you for your effort and have an awesome day
I used dish soap on my 4 ft money tree, when it had thrips. Every single leaf turned brown and dropped. Luckily it was early this spring and my money tree has bounced back with tons of new growth.
