Help! 😭

My Syngonium Milk Confetti has aphids. Thankfully she was not beside any other plants. She has a loner spot on my kitchen island. I still isolated the plant until I find out when I need to do. What is the best remedy to get rid of those little buggies?

The aphids are the little green ones that look like this. Thankfully 😅 I found only several leaves that had them, but I also found remnants from the aphids shedding…so that means they have been on the plant for a little while.

I hate those things! Luckily they die easily. You can use this on them, just spray the leaves.

@VipSeraphina - I have some neem oil I can use. I am just surprised because this is the first time I have seen aphids on any of my house plants. I have seen them on plenty of outdoor plants.

@SwiftMojitoma - they are such a pain. I used neem oil and so far I have not seen any more come back - but I am checking everyday! If I do find any - they are dead! So that makes me happy to know the neem oil is working even after the initial application!
