minus-squareFeydaikin@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 months agoAphids? I had those. I ended up washing the plants down with water regularly. It’s either that or poison. I think ladybugs are also a solution. Someone suggested to spraying the plants with soapy water, but that damaged the leaves as much as the aphids without killing them or keeping them off.
