- Boil the Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the crushed garlic with 1 liter of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Cool and Strain: Allow the mixture to cool completely. Strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove solid particles.
- Add Soap and Optional Ingredients: Pour the strained liquid into a spray bottle. Add 1 tablespoon of mild liquid soap, which helps the solution adhere to plant leaves. If desired, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes for extra repellent properties.
- Mix Thoroughly: Shake the spray bottle well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
Application Tips
- Test First: Before applying the spray to your entire plant, test it on a small area to ensure it doesn’t cause any adverse reactions.
- Timing: Apply the spray in the early morning or late evening to prevent leaf burn from the sun.
