my rex begonia vine has an aphid problem. it’s a houseplant and i didn’t see any aphids on it when i bought it from an outdoor nursery, so i think they might’ve been hiding in the soil. i’m considering repotting it to try and get rid of the aphids. do any of you have any suggestions or tips as to how to get rid of the aphids or repotting?

Get neem oil or 70% isopropyl alcohol

I would spray it off and wipe it down. Then just go nuts with neem oil!

Repot / new soil. Clean roots throughly w peroxide water mix first!
