Let&#8217;s find out&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>how to intervene naturally.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor plants and insects.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent insect attacks on indoor plants, it is important to maintain&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a clean and healthy environment around the plant.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Some of the main insects that can cause problems for houseplants are&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>aphids, for example.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28532\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/afidi-su-painte-da-appartamento.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28532\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These insects feed on the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>young parts of plants<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and can cause deformation and reduced growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice that your plant has spots and a noticeable reduction in growth, it means that it has been attacked by an insect called&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>thrips.<\/strong><br>They are easily recognizable by their&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>small, flat and elongated size.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>red spider damages our plants<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;since this insect produces a web on the plant and feeds on the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we talk about&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>whitefly,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;in relation to plants we are referring to an insect that feeds on the sap of the plant and that ends up causing&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>deformation and a significant reduction in growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Properly watering indoor plants is important to ensure their health and growth, in fact, you should avoid wetting the leaves, as well as maintaining good air circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28537\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/piante-da-interno.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28537\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, it is important&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to monitor the soil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and plant regularly to determine if it needs watering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each type of plant has&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>different water needs,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;so it is important to know your plant&#8217;s specific needs. For example, some plants prefer moist soil, while others prefer to be watered&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>only when the soil is completely dry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is best to avoid wetting the leaves of the plant, as this can&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>cause mold and mildew to form.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Additionally, it is important to avoid wetting the leaves during the hottest hours of the day, as this can cause the leaves to burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garlic powder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Granulated dried garlic can be purchased at any grocery store and is inexpensive. It is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a natural antiseptic<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;without chemical compounds. It disinfects the soil,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>preventing the multiplication<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;of pathogens and microorganisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garlic powder can be used&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>as a natural deterrent to some<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;plant-damaging insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To use&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>garlic powder<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to protect our indoor plants, we can mix 1 teaspoon of garlic powder with 1 liter of hot water. Then it should be left to rest for a couple of hours, finally the solution should be filtered through a sieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28543\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aglio-in-polvetre-piante-da-appartamento.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28543\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can spray this natural product not only on the soil, but also on the leaves, making sure to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>cover all parts of the plant well,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;including the buds and flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second treatment consists of using not only garlic powder but also hydrogen peroxide, or&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>the classic hydrogen peroxide<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;that you buy at the pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_28545\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/acqua-ossigenata.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28545\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case we will remove about two centimeters of soil from the plant&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and then we will sprinkle a tablespoon of garlic powder. Then we prepare a solution that consists of 1 liter of water and a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. We spray with this solution and cover with new soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garlic will prevent the parasite from taking root and this also works for mosquitoes. In addition,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>hydrogen peroxide favors the disinfection<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and cleaning of the plant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If mosquitoes become interested in your houseplants, there is no need to change plants or resort to harmful chemicals, the solution is within reach and in every kitchen.
