    Diluted Neem oil works well, I think some people also use Castille soap

    Spray and clean the leaves with neem oil and dawn dish soap. Then spray it every 7 days until gone

    Take some plastic wrap and cover the soil to help hold it in place and do a dunk in some Castile soap mixed in water. I find this much more effective when treating for pests because it gets all the nooks and crannies. I get as close to the base as possible so the stems are treated as well. Do this every other day until your pests are gone. You can also get a cheap digital microscope that connects to your phone to see the pests up close to help identify them so you can look up more specific treatments for the type of pests it is.

      Blue dawn in water also works great - just don’t use it long term as it can degrade your plants natural oils and waxes over time

    White aphids. They suck the sap from the stems and leaves especially the new tender leaves. They quickly multiply. They have been on your plant awhile to have so many. I recommend: - Isolate the plant. - Check for pests on all the plants. - Use a garden hose sprayer outside to knock off the bugs. I usually wash them off onto a hot concrete driveway or concrete patio. - Use insecticidal soap in the nooks and creases. - Repeat every time the next set appears. 🍀🪴
