Blast it! Aphids have discovered my hib!

Of course the vermin waited until temps had started to get to the point in which I should be bringing it inside. Made it all summer out on my 3rd floor balconey w/ nary a problem.

Sprayed it w/ a systemic today but it'll have to stay outside for now. Unfortunately, temps will be in the 40's overnight and even by day only in the 50's. There's no place I can isolate it in my apartment from all my other plants. Guess I'll discover just how 'tough' this guy is....

    Wash off the aphids as often as needed. That's safer for you than using systemics on a plant that's indoors.

    Mix a few drops of Dawn Dishwashing liquid with water and spray the plant.
