Just grind some cloves & put about 1 to 2 teaspoons on the soil. Works on all plants. Pests hate the smell of cloves. Do this every 2 to 3 months.

[@Eagleinternationaloffline]

Garlic cloves ? Or

[@crystalwright3822]

Really? This works

[@arundhatimalviya3533]

Neem oil with shampoo or hand wash is the easiest and safest. You had shown it in earlier videos. It's very very effective. Even my croton had a severe attack of mealy bugs. And I sprayed the above combination 3 times and the pests were gone

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Arundhati Malviya, I am glad to know it's working for you and thank you for watching my old video as well. Agree with you, it's totally safe and effective!

[@claudiamejia8502]

How much shampoo did you use and what kind

[@harisp.m5043]

​@@GardeningUpbeatu

[@haimantidey9291]

What was the frequency, can you please share?

[@coloursoflife862]

If shampoo goes in soil it will not harm plant ?

[@menishantgupta]

What about the mealybugs in the soil infesting on the roots?

[@sajidmunir864]

Do they? I confess, my knowledge about plant infestation is very little, yes these bugs attack the roots also.

[@shripadganpule8672]

Very useful information. We can even use 1ml kerosene per ltr water or fermented rice water 2-3ml per litre or mixture of baking soda1teaspoon+liquid handwash4-5drops in 1ltr water. These all methods actually removes the waxy protective layer .

[@homiees_2001]

Thank you so much for this video I'm going to use these methods on my plants. I was so worried

[@ayeshabegum9118]

Thank you so much for sharing very important point for mealybug problem

[@sp-1973]

Very helpful video thank you. Here in my garden the problem I have is with aphids, they love my roses 😩 I don't like using chemicals on them as I really don't like to kill them, so this year I will try using the detergent method. I have a problem with vine weevils, they love my heuchera plants, they totally destroyed the roots of many of them and the tops of my plants just totally came off, it was an awful sight. 😔

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@s p, You are most welcome and thank you So much for your feedback, much appreciated! Aphids...I too get them on my Roses and first 2 methods work against Aphids too, unless there are not too many Aphids. Sorry to know about your Heuchera plants, they are really very beautiful. Very very rare and difficult to find in my place. But still, I collected once. Unfortunately, it couldn't handle the Summer temperature even though I kept in shade 😔😔

[@komalmehta4835]

My Camilla has shed all its leaves after I sprayed been oil hand wash solution on it to get rid of scales . I am anxious . Will the leaves grow back . Camilla being a slow growing plant and mine is small one........Is my concern . Roots are nice and stem is drying at some places but main stem is green inside though. What do you suggest ??

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Komal mehta, I believe you wanted to say Neem oil. If you haven't used excess amount (more than 7ml), plant won't shed leaves because of Neem oil. The problem is something else. Anyway, Neem oil is organic and it doesn't harm like Chemical pesticide. For Chemical pesticide, if we use 2ml instead of 1ml, we may find issues like you. Sure, leaves would grow as roots are fine. At this time, please avoid watering regularly and don't keep the plant under too much direct sunlight. 1-2 hours of morning Sunlight would be fine. Good luck with your plant :-)

[@kgktan]

Eucalyptus oil n dish soap help too.

I think those are not mites as Mites are barely visible to the eye..perhaps Millipedes or Centipedes...Anyway, all the best!

[@easygardeningbysarah9592]

I purchase Azadirachtine based pesticide Can you know how to use it or its effectiveness? Seller said that this was a organic pesticide 🙄

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Zeba Salim, Azadirachtin and salannin are the major components of Neem oil and yes, seller is correct. It's organic. For the Dose, you can take 5ml pesticide + 4ml light hand wash => Mix them in 1 liter water and then spray on your plant. If you are worried, before applying on the whole plant, please apply only on few leaves and see if there is any side effects. If you don't see any issue, apply everywhere. Good luck :-)

Can we use it inside house as these mealybugs are on big tree near my house so i can't spray on plant

[@GardeningUpbeat]

Inside house - Hmm, won't be a good idea as you might not like the smell (please avoid using Chemical one at any cost). Instead, you can try using Lizol Disinfectant Floor Cleaner or Naphthalene balls in their entrance area, good luck!

I'm just here to tell the truth I was gifted a dragon tree it had mealy bugs all over and in the crevices I showered it 3 days in a row then I let it sit for maybe a week. I still noticed some but not many . I used Clorox wipes and wiped down each leaf and in the crevices . It's been about 5 days since and I haven't seen 1 mealy bug at all 😮 I shocked myself . I keep checking over and over and still nothing . Also the same person gifted me a dying croton it had spider mites I showered it 2 days left it in the shower went back cleaned it with Clorox wipes applied thin layers of Vaseline and kept it under my grow light. No spider mites no mealy bugs no leaf burns discoloration or nothing . I'm happy I even used superthrive foliage spray on the dragon tree and it has new growth all over

[@mydigitalutopia5329]

I worry about spraying disinfectant on the leaves on my plants though. If I use Lysol spray, will it harm the leaves ability to breath and photosynthesize?

Nothing to worry actually...but since you are worried, please make a very light solution by mixing with water. The Chemical pesticides are much more dangerous than Lisol spray....but we can spray easily, whenever needed!

Hi, with these methods, will it not affect the greens and other vegetable plants? Can you throw some light on this?

[@GardeningUpbeat]

There is nothing to worry if we are using only organic :-) I have found another good organic product and it's Exodus (available on Amazon). But overall saying, Neem oil + Hand wash works perfectly for Mealybugs.

@Namrata Shukla, It's not going to work AND for White Flies or even Aphids, please use either Trap (amzn.to/3is6BTY) or Roket (www.bighaat.com/products/roket-insecticide) The 2nd one is Chemical and First one is Bio Organic. Please also note that, I am sending the link so that you can buy easily or find more info. In 99% cases, I buy most of the products from local store. Thank you and Sir is not required actually :-)
