DIY: How to get rid of aphids

One of my hibiscus trees got aphids and I wanted to try and save it. I've tried this and it seems to be working so far so I thought I would share it with you all! Much better then buying some sort of chemical that's for sure!


What you need:

- A spray bottle
- Mild dish soap
- Water

1) Mix 2 teaspoons of the dish soap with luke warm water in the water bottle. I used a larger water bottle so I used just a little more soap.

2) Spray on all of the affected parts. The soap will dehydrate the aphids.



3) Trim away the severely affected parts.

4) Repeat as many times as needed.
