3 Natural Pesticides for Indoor Plants
Natural pesticides to use at home?
You’ve got options! Whether you’re dealign with mosquitoes, gnats, spiders, you name it: bugs are usually not a welcome visitor to our homes, and especially our houseplants. If you're finding any critters amongst your plants, or if you’d simply like to take preventative measures, here are a few natural remedies:
Neem Oil
If you aren't familiar, spraying your plant with neem oil, a 100% natural oil derived from the neem tree, is a great way to combat pest infestations once they’ve already appeared. It also works as preventative measure against a wide variety of insects.
2. Soap and water
Mix a tablespoon of soap in a spray bottle with water and spritz your plants to keep bugs like aphids and spider mites away. We also recommend L’Original, a black olive soil soap spray specifically formulated for plants to keep them clean and pest-free.
3. Herbal spray
essential oils from herbs like rosemary, sage, basil, and lavender can help keep bugs at bay. Simply dilute essential oils in water and spray away. Potion Magique is an herbal foliar feed designed specifically for indoor plants— it not only boosts their nutrient intake, but also keeps pests at bay!
