    Well just to add to the confusion! I only managed to get hold of a 6% hydro peroxide from a chemist. I misred Fai's post and made an 80% water 20%hp mix. Judging that you use a 30% at 2% mix, it may balance out!!! Fingers crossed

      Hi

      Please do wear eye protection just incase
      And dont leave the bottle open it must be shut tightly
      as soon as you finish measuring out the H2O2

      If you have 6% hydrogen peroxide
      Simply mix
      1 cup (250ml) H2O2 / 1 liter of water
      So 1:4 the 1 is the H2O2 the 4 is clean water

      And spray the plant using a pressure pump spray
      It will save you time and pain

      That way you will not get blisters on your index finger from constantly spraying with a hand sprayer


      This solution at the above strength will definitely kill the aphids.

      Thank you! Fingers crossed. It really looks a mess with the eggs affecting the majority of the leaves so really hoping it works. I'll keep you posted!
