my purpose in dropping in to view your vid' was to learn if you had used any 'systemic' insect control methods?
they are new to me, having just learned of them this week at Brady's Nursery in Salida, CO.
BONIDE is the brand name. an 8oz bottle of crystals sells for about 8 dollars. and contains 0. 22% active
ingredient. it is mixed with water and fed to the container plants from the seedling stage and later.
and, like magic, infiltrates the plant and its juices such that when aphids suck on the plant they die
from injesting the imidacloprid.
ok, enough of that.
my next move will be to see your list of later vid's in case one of them
is of you telling us what you learned from taking a 'systemic' path with your plants

there is a better way if your plants are in small pots. Place the pot in a larger container and fill it with running water. Let the plant completely submerge below the water for one hour. This will wash away most of the bugs on the plant and in the soil. (this is how Bandai masters treat their precious plants) Use warm water to force deeply burrowed bugs to come to the surface and kill the eggs if you have a serious infestation problem but be careful it's not too hot to kill the plants. If you are not sure about the temperature just repeat the cold process a few times and it will be good for a long time.

Another easy, natural way is MURPHY OIL SOAP. A couple tablespoons in a plastic sprayer, fill with warm water, shake it a bit. Then spray on upper leaves, under leaves, the canes, the flowers. all over until it drips off. Do this when the sun is NOT shining on the rose bush. Liquid on plants in the sun can burn them. Douse the plant, wait a few hours, then gently spray it off with diffused water sprayer hose. Do this a couple times a day. It not only knocks off some aphids, they dont like the soap and they either jump off or die. Rosebushes LOVE Murphy Soap and it makes them glossy clean.

Looked at my rose of sharon yesterday and it looks as if someone took a hedge trimmer to the top branches. The cut-offs are on the ground underneath the rose of sharon. Wondering what kind of insect could be doing this damage. Would like to nip it in the bud since they will be blooming soon. Would appreciate any help/advice you can give.

I like to statt with least harsh method first. My young apple tree has aphids. I spray the leafs with mixture of water and sort of pine sole-soap (5% of the water volume) or 1/2 and 1/2 water and non fat milk. Do it in the evenings for a while and the bugs die (soft bodies break down)

I just spent an hour careful removing and squishing all the aphids all the leaves of my rose and then rinsing it of with water. It was worse then your one is but very gross and weirdly satisfying. Then sprayed with vinegar dish soap and water. We shall see how this works.

No, you don't need any store bought product.
Here is a tip from a nursery owner in Baja:
Mix a little peroxide with a little dish soap & lots of water & spay the plant.
I have done that for the last 2 years & it works like a charm

I followed your how to plant strawberries video and the washtub was such a good idea! My plants are super happy. or they were. Hopefully this works to eliminate my aphid problem. There is almost no visible plant damage yet so i got my fingers crossed.
