To make a homemade insecticidal soap spray, mix 1-2 teaspoons of mild liquid dish soap (avoid detergents with degreasers) per litre of water. Shake well. Test on a small leaf area first to ensure no adverse reaction. Spray thoroughly, covering all affected plant parts, especially the undersides of leaves, where pests like aphids and spider mites hide. Apply in the early morning or late evening to prevent leaf scorch and repeat every 5-7 days as needed.
