Black spots, or sooty mold,<\/strong> that appear on tree leaves and fruit are caused by insect pests infecting your plant. These insects are not only responsible for sooty mold, but also deform and discolor the plant, dry out the leaves and cause them to fall. Here are natural and ecological methods to get rid of sooty mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boil a good quantity of nettles<\/strong> , and leave to infuse for 15 minutes. Water your plants or trees with this solution from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sprinkle coffee grounds<\/strong> around your plant to eliminate ants<\/strong> , which are the major cause of aphids<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enrich your plant’s soil by burying banana peels<\/strong> in it . The nitrogen and magnesium in bananas will keep your plant healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sow aphid-repellent plants such as nasturtium<\/strong> , lavender<\/strong> , thyme<\/strong> , mint<\/strong> , marigold ,<\/strong> etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Protect ladybugs<\/strong> from your garden. They are the number one enemy of aphids. To attract them, sow honey-producing flowers such as borage<\/strong> or phacelia<\/strong> . You can also find ladybug larvae sold commercially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Macerate 100g of additive-free tobacco<\/strong> in 1 liter of water for 24 hours, filter then add 1 liter of water and spray this mixture on your plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix a heaping tablespoon of baking soda<\/strong> with a tablespoon of olive oil<\/strong> in a glass of water and spray it where the black spots are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spray a soapy water<\/strong> solution on the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t forget to regularly examine the leaves of your plants to treat any diseases or infestations of harmful insects as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Black spots, or sooty mold, that appear on tree leaves and fruit are caused by insect pests infecting your plant.
