Anyone know how to get rid of aphids?? I found some on this kalanchoe. She had some before but I thought they went away. Is that what’s making her look unhealthy?

They are one of the easiest pests to remove from plants. Just knock them off with a water spray. I usually place the plant on its side and gently spray the aphids onto concrete so they don’t drop onto the potting mix and don’t add excessive water to the soil.

You can try insecticidal soap too. The soap film suffocates them. You may need to repeat each week until they are all gone.

Alright, I’ll give that a try! Thanks
