They need water, sometimes a little more care than in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>temperatures drop,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;therefore in autumn and winter, they must be&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>protected from all types of insects<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. A clove of garlic comes to the rescue in this case,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>it can be preventive<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and allow you to remedy small infestations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garlic clove, therapy for plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before proceeding to use pesticides that are harmful to health and to the plant itself, it is advisable to try&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>garlic-based therapy,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;which could prove to be a true panacea. The smell of garlic&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>is not pleasant at all<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, not only for animals and insects, but also for humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aphids of any color,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>green, yellow, gray or black,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;hate the smell of garlic that comes from a substance found in the bulb, allicin, which is made of sulfur. This substance&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>helps the plant fight against aphids<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and red spiders, which are the cause of the yellowing of the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use antiparasitic garlic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>garlic clove acts as a pesticide<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;if you take it as is and place it between the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>stem of the plant and the edge of the vase<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. The important thing is to change it at least once a month, because during this period of time&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>it loses its smell and consequently its effectiveness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to be careful, that is,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>be careful when watering the plant<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. It is not necessary to water the place where the bulbs are located because otherwise a garlic plant will grow. Obviously this is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a preventive method<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and therefore cannot be considered an effective remedy against infestations that have already started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garlic on infested plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when the parasites have been living on the plants for some time, a recipe can be prepared that is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>especially good for flowering plants<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. Peel the garlic cloves and boil them in half a liter of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They should be tender. Once done, you filter the water and let it cool. Then pour it into a spray bottle and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>spray it directly on the plants<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, avoiding contact with the flowers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>The treatment must be repeated every two days<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, until it is seen that the plant has managed to free itself of all parasites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to act on aromatic plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in the case of aromatic plants, or the garden, the treatment is different,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>just chop 5 cloves of garlic<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, infuse them in cold water, only one liter is enough. Then it is left to rest for a whole day and filtered. Finally, it is vaporized on the plants just like the previous treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each treatment must be repeated every year, every two days, until&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>the aphids have left the plant<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. Pesticides can also be kept at home in the refrigerator for a week. Alternatively, they can be frozen and thawed when necessary. The results are satisfactory, no large expense is required. A few cloves of garlic usually solve the problem in a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garlic has many beneficial properties, it is also good for humans, simply when used in the areas to be treated. Simply rub a slice on corns, calluses, warts or chilblains to notice how the pain is relieved almost instantly. So it is an excellent disinfectant for wounds, it has many anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. When&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>mixed with vinegar it is miraculous<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, not only for plants but also for humans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A clove of garlic changes the flavor of any dish, but it is not only useful in the kitchen, it is also an excellent ally for health, a powerful pesticide, which helps keep lice and aphids away from plants.
