How to get rid of midges in indoor flowers
Flower midges can appear for various reasons. For example, because of soil contamination, excessive watering of plants or the use of organic fertilizers.
Potassium permanganate will help remove midges. Just instead of water, water your plants 1-2 times with a solution of potassium permanganate.
In addition, strong odors repel midges. You can use garlic, soap or tobacco solutions.
To choose the right product, you need to take into account the type of pest and which plant was affected by it.
You can also make a garlic infusion. To prepare, you need to chop a glass of garlic along with the husk, add 0.5 liters of water and leave for 5 days at room temperature.
Then strain this mixture and store in the refrigerator. To treat the plant, 25-30 milliliters of infusion are diluted in 1 liter of water and watered on the affected plant and soil.
