Aphids on hibiscus
Have just moved into new house and a hibiscus bush out the back is
crawling with aphids. I was wondering if anyone knew a good product or remedy? One little bottle of poison I collected off a friend to combat them warned me to wear all over protective clothing, mask etc. and so I'm a bit reluctant to try it! Thanks! |

Get a spray bottle, fill it with water and a teaspoon of dishwashing soap
(Dawn works good), and spray the heck out of the plant. That will usually help. Dwayne "ame-ame" wrote in message om...

Spray with a strong jet of water to knock them of or with a liquid made of garlic, chili and soap. |

Sounds like you have Rogor, and I don't blame you in being reluctant to use it. Pyrethrum kills them too. Neem Oil is one that I know is totally safe and very effective.

I have a suggestion from a gardening guru, who says that black coffee will
do the trick. Good Luck! "ame-ame" wrote in message om... Have just moved into new house and a hibiscus bush out the back is crawling with aphids.
