User-Friendly Home Remedies and Treatments

Everyone encounters plant issues, and while chemical options are available, many prefer to reach for more user-friendly household items to combat pesky bugs and fungal infections.  These gentle treatments often need more frequent application but provide great results.

Items often used include:

• Dishwasher Liquid: Suffocates pests and acts as a surfactant, helping sprays stick to plants or bugs.
• Cinnamon: Functions as both a fungicide and a rooting hormone.
• Honey: Serves as an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal agent, and a rooting hormone.
• Diatomaceous Earth (DE): A versatile item with many household uses.  Fungicide, insecticide and drying agent. 
• Isoprop (Isopropyl Alcohol): Used in diluted sprays to target and dry out pests like mealybugs.
• Hydrogen Peroxide: Useful for oxygenating soil and fighting root rot.
• Methylated Spirits (Meths): Can be used similarly to isopropyl alcohol for pest control.

There are many more household items you can use, and this list is just a small sample. I will be writing a blog about household items that can be used on your plants—please read it!
