# My hibiscus continually suffers from aphids. After taking this…

_Pubblicato da Plants\&Pets 🌱🐱🐶 il 2024-01-31_

My hibiscus continually suffers from aphids. After taking this picture I gave it a thorough shower and then sprayed all over with homemade insecticide (water + Castile soap) but wondering if anyone has suggestions for a more lasting treatment? My other hibiscus is less than a metre away and has no aphids. I previously treated this one with neem oil, but obviously it didn’t fully take.
