Initialy I noticed aphids on my red honeysuckle. I sprayed the plant with dish soap and garlic powder 3 times over a period of a week and the aphids appeared to be gone. Now I have a problem with the inside leaves turning yellow. I have not had this problem since I planted the honeysuckle 3 years ago. What can I do to solve this problem??????? [flower] [Love]

Hi, Mark!

Welcome to the forum! [wayey] Everyone is really nice and helpful here.

I've been spraying the aphids off my roses with just plain water from the hose. I do know that roses don't like their foliage watered...so maybe honeysuckle is the same and it's just turning yellow from the amount of water sprayed?

I use this recipe for insects and fungus on everything.

Good Natural Insect/Fungus Spray
1/3 cup Murphy's Oil Soap (only this name brand will do)
1 Tablespoon baking soda
1 gallon of water.
Mix well and spray plants.

Hope this helps you!

Yes, the leaves have dark patches but it is where the leaves have dried out and become brittle. [flower]

Mark ....I don't know anything about honeysuckle but have had experience using soap and water solution for aphids on a lemon tree.....the first time I tried that I left the spray on....and yellowing leaves occurred....since then I spray with the solution and then rinse after a few hours. Sorry not much help.
