First Time Grower - Outdoors, Vic

good luck, keep us posted
 

if you put some oil out now it should be full of bugs in the morning - the oil works best at night it seems, then chamomile spray early morning and evening

Mate blue Gatorade works too anything like dishwasher detergent n water even sugar n water

They are budding back very well, however it looks as though the beetles are back! These fuckers are going to be the death of me hahaha

I’ve got a little container of vegetable oil next to them and I’ve brewed some camomile tea to spray on it tonight

Okwell fridays not to far away as soon as it starts raining get her out in it to get plenty or pure rain water,it will give her a good flush and in my opinion rain water is like liquid gold for outdoors plants its the very best you can do for a recovering plant and it will help get that new growth going again,in the meantime just keep removing as many of those flea beetle pricks by hand

Thank you so sooooo much GreenQueen! You’ve been sooo incredibly helpful!

I’ll get them out in the rain Friday, we are getting like 40-50mm of rain so they will get a good soaking. And like you said, in the mean time I’ll continue to remove as many beetles as possible by hand. I’ll also re pot them all in a week or so too in a effort to get as many of the beetles out of the soil as possible (I was told they like to live deep in the soil)

 

Thanks again

BB
