So happy ! I just cured my indoor basil plant which was suffering from white little aphids all over it!! All I did was dunk the stem and leaves of the plant into a solution of Oak leaves and water. I did this once a day for 2 days. ( 99.99% cure after the first dunk !) (I had a bunch of oak leaves which I had previously torn up in to shreds and soaked overnight in a large bowl of water .) Also I changed the plants location to the bathroom (away from 2 other plants it was with ?not sure if relevant??!)- Lawrence
It comes from the basil plant!
Ants move small insects called aphids from plant to plant. The aphids are protected by the ants while the ants feed on sugary honeydew produced by the aphids. This is referred to as a symbiotic relationship.
Aphids (greenfly) suck a plant's sap. Too many aphids on a plant will cause the plant to wilt. Ladybirds are voracious eaters of aphids.
Yes they do
to eat aphids (aphids eat plants garderners use ladybirds to get rid of aphids all the time)
They are just fungus gnats from over watering. Set it outside & dry it out some & they will disappear.
Mutual Relationship
no, but it does get rid of pest rabbits!
Both. Basil is a plant with fragrant leaves that can be picked and used fresh, or picked and dried for later use.
Not sure what it is, but best if you mix dishwashing soap and water and spray it on the plant to remove it. Be sure to rinse the plant.
It is Pot plant, Basil, Sage and Thyme
rabbits and aphids.
