Are aphids spoiling your Hydrangeas? An elementary way to save Flowers without much time

The aphids that appear on hydrangea significantly darken the appearance of the plant, depriving it of its former attractiveness and healthy vitality. Having found this pest, it is necessary to immediately begin a fight with it, delay is not permissible.

Various methods and means, both chemical and natural, can help get rid of aphids on hydrangeas.

I tried many different methods, but for a long time I settled on one of them: simple, but at the same time very effective. If you do not know how to save hydrangea from aphids, then follow my advice, now I will tell you about everything.

Why are aphids dangerous for hydrangeas?

Aphids are usually located on the lower part of the leaves or on the shoots of hydrangea, literally covering them with whole colonies.

This microscopic pest is very voracious and feeds on plant juices, taking away its vitality in this way.

In the residual sugary secretions secreted by aphids, various fungi that infect the plant appear and successfully multiply. Hydrangea damaged by this pest slows down in its growth and development.

Chemicals or folk remedies?

It is easy to get rid of aphids on hydrangeas using chemicals that act quickly and effectively. But I do not like "chemistry" and I try never to use pesticides.

I believe that chemicals can be toxic not only to plants, but also to humans, especially if the drug is misused.

For this reason, I always use a folk remedy in the fight against aphids.

Recipe

My favorite hydrangea aphid remedy is celandine herbal tincture. For its preparation, you can take both fresh raw materials (300 grams) and dried (100 grams).

The specified amount of celandine must be poured with one liter of water. Cover the container with raw materials with a lid and send for a day to infuse in a dark place.

Application features

I pour the finished product into a spray bottle and generously spray it with my hydrangeas.

It is important to pay special attention when processing the inner side of the leaves, as the favorite habitat of aphids. I spray every five days until the pest disappears completely.

A simple method will help you get rid of aphids on hydrangeas quickly and effectively. Try it, and you yourself will be able to evaluate its effectiveness.
