Green Solution: Non-Toxic Spray for Plant Pests

Green Solution: DIY Pest Spray With Household Ingredients

Mix water, alcohol, biodegradable liquid soap, mineral oil. Test on 1–2 leaves first. Few pests: Q-tip alcohol. Widespread: warm water + biodegradable soap. Stubborn: 8 oz water + 8 oz alcohol + 2 tbsp soap + 2 tbsp mineral oil. Spray all surfaces. Use on leathery leaves (not palms); never on fuzzy leaves (African violets, begonias). For palms, omit alcohol. Never spray in sun or on dry soil.
