Introducing homemade pesticides for flower farmers, designed to effectively prevent pests and diseases without harming the environment. These natural solutions are easy to prepare, simple to use, and safe for both plants and the ecosystem. Whether you're dealing with common insect infestations or plant diseases, these DIY remedies offer a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides. First, let's look at pest control for family-grown flowers. Common pests include aphids, scale insects, whiteflies, thrips, leafhoppers, ants, red spiders, and mites. Here are some effective homemade pesticide recipes: (1) Ginkgo biloba: Take the fruit, add an equal amount of water, and filter to create a stock solution. Dilute it 1:2 with water before spraying to control aphids.
(2) Arborvitae: Crush the leaves, soak them in water at a ratio of 1:5 for 24 hours, then spray the filtrate directly to prevent spider mites.
(3) Peach leaves: Mix the leaves with water at a 1:6 ratio, boil for 30 minutes, and spray the liquid to manage aphids and other soft-bodied pests.
(4) Tung oil: Chop old leaves and mix with water at a 1:3 to 1:5 ratio, or use the peel with a 1:10 ratio. Soak for 24 hours and spray to repel aphids.
(5) Pulsatilla: Clean and chop the plant, mix with water at a 1:10 ratio, soak for 23 hours, or boil for 30 minutes. The filtrate helps control aphids, leafhoppers, and mites.
(6) Bowl of flowers: Chop and mash the plant, mix with water at 1:5, soak for 24 hours, and spray to control aphids, spider mites, and more.
(7) Ze paint (likely referring to a local plant): Chop the stems and leaves, mix with water at 1:4, cook for 1–2 hours, and spray to manage aphids and red spiders.
(8) Peppermint: Chop and mash the leaves, mix with water at 1:5, soak for 24 hours, and spray to control mites and thrips.
(9) Chili peppers: Mix with water at a 1:10 ratio, boil for 30 minutes, and spray to deter aphids and mites.
(10) Tobacco: Soak tobacco leaves in water at a 1:10 ratio for 24 hours, or boil for an hour. Use the filtrate to soak potting soil and kill ants, or dilute it with water and a bit of soap to control aphids, red spiders, and thrips.
(11) Pepper: Mix peppers with water at a 1:10 ratio, boil into a stock solution, then dilute 1:10 with water to control whiteflies and aphids. Second, according to the Chinese Pesticide Network, common plant diseases include powdery mildew, rust, gray mold, root rot, leaf spot, and blight. Here are some natural remedies: (1) Pine needles: Boil pine needles at a 1:2 to 1:3 ratio for two hours to make a slightly gelatinous solution. Dilute 1:1 with water to prevent root rot.
(2) Hibiscus: Soak hibiscus in water at a 1:10 ratio for 24 hours. The filtrate can help prevent root rot and blight.
(3) Ginger: Grind ginger and mix its juice with water at a 1:20 ratio to spray and prevent rot.
(4) Amaranth and leeks: Mash both ingredients and mix with water at a 1.6:10 ratio. Stir and spray to prevent rust and mites.
(5) Onions and green onions: Crush and mix with water at a 2:1.5 ratio. Spray to control white disease and aphids.
(6) Garlic: Crush garlic, mix with water at a 1:1 ratio, then dilute 1:3 with water to prevent powdery mildew, gray mold, root rot, and also control locusts and red spiders. Third, here are additional natural methods:
(1) Baking soda: Spraying a 0.1% to 0.2% baking soda solution helps prevent powdery mildew.
(2) Plant ash: Soak plant ash in water at a 3:10 ratio for 49 hours, then spray to control aphids and gray mold.
(3) Mosquito coils: Burn pyrethrin-containing mosquito coils in a sealed plastic sleeve for 50–60 minutes to kill red spiders.
(4) Wind oil essence: Dilute wind oil essence 600–800 times and spray to control aphids, scale insects, and red spiders.
(5) Washing powder: Mix washing powder with water at a 1:150 ratio and spray every 5 days for 2–3 times to manage aphids, red spiders, scale insects, and whiteflies.
(6) Potassium permanganate: Spray a 0.02% to 0.03% potassium permanganate solution every 2–3 days to control and prevent powdery mildew. These homemade pesticides are not only cost-effective but also eco-friendly, making them ideal for small-scale flower farming. With a little effort, you can protect your plants naturally while keeping your garden healthy and safe for the environment.
