# Orange aphids are my current nemesis. They have invaded my Hoya Bella…

Orange aphids are my current nemesis. They have invaded my Hoya Bella and Hoya Krohniana Super Silver (Eskimo). The two plants are not close to each other. The Bella was in the back of the house in winter while the Krohniana was at the front windows. They were both outside about 30 feet from each other when orange aphids appeared on the new growth. They are on my first ever peduncle to start from nothing and begin blooming in my house since I started collecting hoyas almost a year ago!😭

They are killing my joy! So, I’m returning the favor. I sprayed with isopropyl alcohol yesterday. There were aphids still jiggling their butts this morning. They would not wash off under the faucet. So, I decided to soak both plants under soapy Dawn dishwater for a couple of hours to suffocate everything in the soil and above it. Hoyas make me work work work work work work!

The best solution to these guys are to squish them. It’s sound odd but believe me it works. Just carefully smush the bugs all over the plant and other plants you see them in.
