Liebe PflanzenfreundInnen,
das ist die Antwort an einen Pflanzenfreund in einem anderen Forum.
Er fragte, was ich gegen die Blattläuse tue.
Vielleicht mögt ihr die Photos?
Good evening Mike,
yes, these are aphids on a rose on the terrace.
They reappear on the roses every year.
In the past, very early, I sprayed poison.
Until a few years ago then neem oil products.
Now only water.
The birds eat the aphids very gladly and help properly.
Since I can not spray any stuff.
Water from the watering wand / shower rinses the beasts very well.
I just have to hold the branch with the other hand or a device.
Here are some photos of the ambitious singer and insectivore.
A few days ago, it may have been April 21, I pruned some smaller bux plants.
I put the pots on a rotating stool for this, then I don't have to walk around the pots.
Of course, there was quite a bit of "critters" under the pots.
"My" robin saw this immediately and collected some isopods and centipedes.
Unfortunately, I have only two reasonably useful photos with prey in the beak.
When collecting the head was down and when the beak was full everything went terribly fast. . .
