    😱😱aphids and a lot of them, they suck plants dry. I’d take your plant outside and hose it down hard, or take it in the shower on the sprayer selection of the shower head and blast those suckers off. Then get a pesticide and treat it every week

    Aphids. They breed very fast. Check all your plants and isolate this one. Disinfect hands and tools to prevent spread. Eradicate them as Alyssa recommended. 🍀🪴

      Fun fact: most aphids are born pregnant and reproduce asexually!

    Thanks for the advice, I’m planning on buying some insecticide to kill them & ensure my other plants are okay. Do you have any recommendations?

      Captain Jacks dead bug brew and a systemic pesticide you can put in the soil can be pretty helpful. Also using neem oil in your water can help treat many pesky pests

    All seasons oil is good too but what ever you use make sure you spray the backs of the leaves as well as the leaf axles.
