Gardens are considered an important part of the house. 

These homemade sprays not only protect the plants from insects but also help them in their growth.

Buttermilk

Many times, problems like mould, damping off, and shrinkage are seen in plants. To overcome such situations, people can use buttermilk for their treatment. This buttermilk spray solution can be easily made by mixing water with buttermilk. 

Soapy water

Using soapy water as a spray eliminates insects like mealy bugs, caterpillars, and aphids from the plants. To make the soapy water solution, dissolve 4-5 spoons of liquid soap or handwash in 5 litres of water. 

Aspirin

With the help of aspirin, one can also keep plants free from diseases. For this, dissolve aspirin in water and spray it on the plants. This solution can also be mixed with the soil. This will also protect the plant from drying.

Honey

People who are interested in gardening often graft plants and grow a new plant from the branch. People can also use honey for that. For this, add honey to 2 cups of water and boil it. After that, keep the water in the fridge until it cools down. Now, dip the branch in this water and bury it in soil or sand. This will allow the roots to grow quickly and the plant to grow faster.
