    Best insecticide for indoor plants 
    9/24/2020 at 11:15 AM
    Having a gnat and aphid problem...  
    Have tried the drying method and that didnt work..  
    Has anyone made there own insecticidal soap? What ingredients did you use, and how often did you spray your plants?  
    Thank you very much

    Seen this on the Net, so tried it  
    Google hydrogen peroxide  
    Have sprayed outdoor annuals in pots, weekly , for a few weeks, before bringing them in to winter. Then sprayed them weekly indoors for few more weeks.  
     
    good luck

    I mix a weak water/ dish soap solution and mist the plants with it, if need be do it again in a few days. Works fine for me.
