How to recognize aphids?
Aphids are small bugswith a body length of 2 to 5 mm. Their body is soft and delicate, and the abdomen ends in a pointed tail. They come in both wingless and winged forms. They can be green, yellow, white, gray, black, brown, pink or orange.
Aphids usually sit on young leaves, tops of shoots and flower budsThey suck juices from plants, weakening their growth and causing deformation of shoots, leaves and flowers. Worse yet, they cover the plants with a sticky discharge, the so-called honeydew where fungi can easily develop. Aphids can also transmit viruses. Therefore, there is no doubt that you need to fight them.

To prepare a garlic spray on aphids , grind 25g of garlic cloves and pour 1 liter of water. Let it rest for 15 minutes, stirring several times in the meantime.

Vinegar spraying
If we don't have garlic at home, then it's worth reaching for vinegar. It can be of any kind. I always take a regular alcohol one because it's the cheapest.
Preparing a vinegar sprayingis very easy. You simply mix the vinegar with water in a ratio of 1:10, that is, for 100 ml of vinegar (about half a glass) we take 1 liter of water. Just remember to put the vinegar in the water, not the other way around. Finally, add a teaspoon of gray soap or a few drops of washing up liquid. Thanks to this,vinegar spraying on the aphids will stick better to the plantsand its effect will be longer.
Spray the plants thoroughlyso that the liquid runs off them. Remember to spray not only from the top but also from the bottom of the leaves, where the aphids are most abundant.
