I need help with my cucumber plant.. it has some black spots and i think aphids (they have have white wings). In a 24’ pot with another cucumber plant. How do i fix this? Also trying to keep it organic as possible. If not possible i can start over with not problem. The sick vine has a few baby cucumbers also, i have a feeling i might lose those.
You’ll need to cut off the affected leaf. There are loads of pest spray recipes out there if you want to keep it organic. My go to is neem oil mixed with a peppermint liquid castille soap (eg Dr Bronners) mixed in a spray bottle with water. You’ll need to spray pretty vigilantly every 3 days for about 3 weeks. If the aphid infestation isn’t too bad, I like to just manually squish them a first. Doing that with my broccoli at the moment 😡😡
