Protecting Peppers from Aphids

Aphids can quickly infest pepper plants, hindering their growth and fruit production. To control aphids organically, encourage beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings to your garden. You can also make a simple homemade insecticidal soap by mixing a teaspoon of mild liquid soap with a quart of water. Spray the solution directly on the affected plants, ensuring thorough coverage, including the underside of leaves. Repeat this application every few days until aphids are no longer a problem.
