You can get rid of them with the help of purchased chemicals, but they can be toxic to plants and people. An alternative is to use natural remedies, such as garlic.
Garlic contains phytoncides, substances that have antibacterial and fungicidal effects. They are also an effective insect repellent.
To prepare a remedy for midges and insects from garlic, you need to:
- Chop 5 cloves of garlic.
- Pour 1 liter of water over them.
- Leave for 5 days in a dark place.
- Strain the infusion.
- Spray the plants with the resulting infusion.
Garlic infusion should not be heated, as this can destroy its biologically active substances.
Spray the plants with garlic infusion 2-3 times a week. After a few weeks, midges and other insects should disappear.
As a reminder, every flower lover wants her flowerpots to be the most lush, beautiful, and healthy. But did you know that an inexpensive spice that every housewife uses for baking can help you grow perfect flowers on your windowsill?
