Aphids ruining your plants? 🐜 Beat them naturally with these powerful companion plants! 💪🌿

Herbs like lavender 💜, rosemary 💚, and catnip release strong scents that confuse and repel aphids. Their fuzzy textures create an unwelcoming environment.

Marigolds 🌼 and nasturtiums produce oils that deter these sap-suckers. Radish and mustard act as trap crops, luring aphids away from your prized plants.

The bright blooms of zinnia, cosmos and sunflowers attract ladybugs 🐞, lacewings and other beneficial predators that devour aphids.

Interplant these botanical bodyguards throughout your veggie beds, roses 🌹, and fruit trees 🍎 for an all-natural, no-spray way to control aphid outbreaks!

Maintaining a diverse garden ecosystem with well-chosen companions is the key to keeping those pesky aphids at bay. Give it a try! 🌱
