Natural Way to Deal with Pests on Indoor Plants

It is inevitable that insects or another infestation will make its way to your plants at one 

point or another.  If you are dealing with pests in your indoor garden you may want to 

find a natural way to eliminate them especially if you have young children or pets in your 

home.  There are ways to do this and most of them require ingredients that you can get at 

the grocery store.

When you find insects or another disease that is making your plant sick.  Isolate the plant 

immediately to prevent the problem spreading to the other plants inside your house.  

Depending on the type of problem the solution will be different.

If your plants are being eaten by spider mites, you can eliminate the problem by making a 

solution of buttermilk and water.  Put the solution into a spray bottle, put the plant in the 

bathtub and give a thorough once over.  A mix of 50-50 is recommended, if this is too 

thick to use with the spray bottle, add more water for a thinner consistency.

You may be able to control aphids with a thorough washing of the plant leaves with 

water.  Another recommendation is to kill a couple of the aphids and leave them in the 

bottom of the pot.  They then emit an odor that lets the other aphids know that danger is 

near and they abandon the plant.  If this method is used, do it outside so they can find 

another home that is not inside yours.

The natural and organic methods available for the wide variety of problems your plant 

can encounter are too numerous to list.  These are the two most common pests, but with 

some research there is a natural solution to many more different insects or diseases that 

can affect a plant’s health.
