Lupine are not doing too badly after aphid invasion #lupin #aphid

My #lupins are infested with aphids #aphids #infested what can I do to get rid of them?

Oh no 😱

@chebellestelle garlic spray or cloves around base plant might help.

Thanks @jaco66 I'll try that

A very weak mix of fairy liquid & water in a spray bottle , spray all over the plant leave for a little while then rinse off with water best time to do it is when sun is going down , hope this helps @chebellestelle 🐌🐌🐌😘

Thanks @Hut123456789

Did this work? Mine have the same

I did the soap and water spray and used the sprayer on the hose to rinse them away. I didn't have any garlic but might try that next, there are still some aphids alive so I'll need to treat them again.

@karall

I have just thrown 2 bowls of water with a bit of washing up liquid over mine. It seems to of moved a lot of them off

What colours do you have? I have a few red ones but would love a orange one😋

They are red, yellow, pink and purple. Don't think there is an orange one 😄
