Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024
Instead of planting my plants immediately in soil, and then eradicating these pests as i see them, i have devised a system that works nicely. I found this recipe online, 1 qt water, 1 tbsp Dr Bronners liquid peppermint soap and a 1 tsp peppermint oil. I mix it well in a large bucket. When the soil is saturated (but not sopping), it sits for a day or 2. It will begin killing whatever begins hatching. Then i spread the wet soil out on a large area with plastic underneath and let the soil dry out a bit before i use it on my plants. (Commercial dish soap is dangerous to plants and can possibly burn them.) This system works for me and trust me, i have been thru 3 yrs of battling whitefly and black aphids. Black aphids were a huge nightmare with my potted African Daisies. I now have everything pretty much under control now. I just wanted to pass this on. its def not for Orchids or those types. I keep this mix in a spray bottle and use it to spray top soil as needed when i see a small problem with usually whiteflys. But nowhere near the bug nightmare i had before i began treating the soil.
I purchased this and was a little afraid of root shock, so I took to my Prickly Pear and other cacti that are multiplying without my consent. Well, several injuries later, I transplanted a few pots and now.... I have even more multiplication going on!
I also transplanted my aloe vera plant, because it had consumed all of its previous soil and was just a root ball with a little dirt. In the month since I have transplanted it, it’s doubled in size and was already pretty big!
I did my research and discovered that while Prickly Pear and the other cacti (a finger-like cacti) are happy with little water, as they are desert cacti. Christmas Cacti are happy with MORE water, so to go with this I purchased some coco coir to hold more water for them. Then came the dreaded task of “Operation Save The Christmas Cacti”, as I want to give a couple away as Christmas gifts this year. So I sat down with everything I needed. I used a small amount of coco coir, as it is just to help with watering, but once rehydrated (I bought the compressed kind) I mixed it with this soil. And started dissecting the planters and getting rid of the old soil and finding my roots. The old soil was no longer holding water and I had been poking holes in it to get water to the roots. It seems as if I may have lost three or four four plants, but if I found a root system I thought might be able to be saved I replanted it.
I replanted the first planter (of four) and was happy with the new arrangement, then set it aside. I replanted the second, was equally happy, went to set it next to planter one. And... what? Planter one’s plants were already noticeably happier, their leaves were brighter and were moving! I could see them perking up. Ok, maybe it’s just me. Nope, my dog is now standing between me and said planter and she looks concerned. I quickly tell her it’s ok, but by this time my other dog is now watching. They have now decided to stand guard. I finish up the third planter, and once again planter two is noticeably more happy. Now when doing planter four, this is the planter that has my plants that need that extra TLC, the oldest plants that were the most damaged. I decided to take a plant from each of the first three planters and place it in the fourth and add a extra TLC plant in it’s place in the original three planters as I ran out of the coco coir mixed soil, the fourth planter would also have a TLC plant in it. I had read that doing this can help plants ‘recover and heal’. With all four planters assembled, it was now after 9pm (which was the goal) so I watered everyone and went inside. I got up the following morning and my leaves were no longer ‘dingy’ and ‘dusty’ looking. They are bright and colorful. They are no longer droopy, but are perking up and within a couple days are budding. This is ALL four planters, not just the ones with coco coir. I have seen a little green coming from two of the four TLC plants so far.
I have ordered a second bag and am going to transplant ALL of the other cacti, and most likely sell and/or give away a good portion of them as I too often get attacked by them if I look at them too long. I’m surprised my dog’s have not been attacked by them. I also have cats and I don’t need them jumping on cacti, which is why my from porch has looked like a cacti outlet for the last 4 months at least.
Do I recommend? Absolutely! How ‘Cacti’ not buy this again!
