Last weekend we washed EVERY SINGLE LEAF of our Lemon Verbena with a kitchen sponge and dishwashing liquid solution in an attempt to save the poor darling. RIP an entire bed of Plectanthrus. I feel your pain : )
Kat, What does the liquid do or not do, depending on your life saving skills?
So far has destroyed the colony of aphids cavorting under each leaf but will let you know if it stays that way! Some say the dishwash liquid makes any anti aphid spray stick to the plant but we try to avoid poison. I am not a gardener so any attempt I make to do good is worth mentioning : )
Like wise - but I've had mixed results with the dishwashing liquid thing.
I can't possibly list all the plants I've killed.... rosemary, lavender, nutmeg geranium, and countless supposedly invincible succulents are the ones I can think of right now.
I know, with plants like with toys - there is no such thing as indistructable or invincible!
I recently discovered, by walking around in a local nursery, that I have been "weeding" white phlox and shasta daisies for years!
Hullo there Maggie and a warm welcome.I have to say I wouldn't know a shasta daisy if it bit me on the nose.
