Today I tell you how to get rid of aphids on roses .
With sunny days, aphids come back to attack your plants.
These small black, white or green insects climb the stems of plants.
The problem is that they suck the sap from the plants... like little vampires.
And the roses end up dying quickly... That's what happened with my roses 2 years ago. I was crazy!
But do not panic ! There is a natural and effective trick to eliminate aphids.
Since I started using this gardening trick, no more aphids on my beautiful roses!
Just sprinkle diatomaceous earth around your roses . It is a natural insecticide that my grandmother already used. Watch:
1. Grab your vial of diatomaceous earth.
2. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth at the base of the rosebushes.
3. Make a closed circle by scattering diatomaceous earth around the base of the rose bushes.
4. Aphids can no longer climb on your roses.
There you go, no more aphids attacking your beautiful garden roses :-)
Simple, fast and efficient, right?
No need to use toxic chemicals to kill aphids!
Diatomaceous earth is an economical product.
Not to mention that it is extracted from French soils!
As it is natural and non-toxic, it can be used in organic farming.
Very practical for your garden and even vegetable patch!
In addition, it is also effective against all other crawling insects that attack your plants.
Indeed, this natural insecticide is formidable against slugs, caterpillars and the box tree moth.
Be aware that diatomaceous earth is less effective in damp conditions.
It is therefore advisable to carry out the anti-aphid treatment on a sunny day.
And it's best to use it in the morning so that it has time to dry during the day.
Warning ! When you apply your anti-aphid treatment, check that no leaves are touching the ground.
Why ? This is to prevent aphids from climbing directly on the leaves and avoiding the diatomaceous earth.
- You want to protect your plants or trees from flying parasitic insects ?
It's simple. Spray water on and under the leaves.
Then sprinkle it with diatomaceous earth.
The effectiveness of diatomaceous earth will then be identical.
Flying insects will land on leaves coated with this natural insecticide.
- Did you know that you can also use baking soda and olive oil to kill aphids?
Or black soap?
They are also 2 very effective and 100% natural anti-aphid treatments.
Diatomaceous earth is made up of microscopic shells of dead algae, extracted from sedimentary siliceous rocks.
It is a formidable natural insecticide.
It acts mechanically by drying out the insects that come into contact with it.
By making an airtight circle around the attacked plant, the aphids can no longer pass.
This product forms an impenetrable anti-aphid barrier.
