This organic insect spray is a great indoor pesticide for houseplants. It’s safe for humans and pets, but it will kill any insects on contact. This homemade pesticide can be used on a variety of indoor plants—from herbs to tropicals!

To make the spray, combine 5 tablespoons of liquid castile soap with 5 tablespoons of water into a 16 oz plastic spray bottle. Add 10 drops each of lavender essential oil and geranium essential oil to the mixture in the bottle, then fill remaining space with water until full (about 3/4 full). Shake well before each use to mix ingredients together thoroughly; use as needed by spraying directly onto pests or infested areas of your plant (avoiding leaf surfaces if possible).

Mix all the ingredients together to form a paste.

Once you have all your ingredients ready, mix them together in a bowl or pestle and mortar. If you have a food processor or blender, you can use that instead. The idea is to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed; if using a blender or food processor, pulse until the mixture has reached a smooth consistency.

If you want, you can dilute the paste with some water to make it easier to apply.

To make it easier to apply the paste, you can dilute it with water. Use a ratio of 1 part paste to 3 parts water and spray the diluted solution onto the leaves. This will help prevent leaf burn, as well as make it easier to apply since diluted solutions are less thick than undiluted ones.

Use a cloth or sponge to apply the paste to your plant leaves.

To apply the paste to your plant leaves, use a cloth or sponge. Apply the paste to both sides of each leaf, but avoid getting the plant wet.

You should leave it on for half an hour, then wash off with water and soap. Do not use this on plants that you are going to eat or on sensitive plants. You must also make sure you don’t apply it in direct sunlight as it could damage the plant’s leaves.

You can use this spray once a week on your houseplants.

Before you begin, remember that this spray will kill your plants. It’s not for outdoor use and should only be used on indoor plants that you want to keep alive. If you have any doubts about the toxicity of a plant before using this spray on it, don’t do it!

Also note that while the numbers are listed in ounces (oz), they refer to liquid ounces rather than weight. One liquid ounce is equal to 28 grams. A pound is 16 oz or 453 grams—so an ounce bottle contains about 0.28 lb/0.45 kg of pesticide concentrate solution
