# I’ve got a problem with aphids on my zebra plant, she’s in her prime…

_hannah \<3님이 2024-08-28에 게시함_

I’ve got a problem with aphids on my zebra plant, she’s in her prime at the moment growing lots of new leaves, I’ve tried brushing them off with soapy water(that works for a little while) then they came back. I’ve tried shooting them off with water and they seem to just crawl back onto her. Do I spray them off and repot her? Because the aphids just fall into the soil. Pls help 🙏

you can buy a little jar of ladybugs online to eat them!

Oh really that’s cool, would I have to put the plant outside while they do that? Not sure how I’d feel about lady bugs flying around my house 🤣

i swear they stay where the food is! you could put a few in and then set the rest outside to do their thing

I’ve just found a bug spray in the shop which says it can kill aphids, do u think this is a better way of doing it or ladybugs?

Beneficial insects stay with the plant until they starve and die off once they eat all the aphids 😁
