- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- After many months of trial and testing, it has out performed previous solutions I've used. This is a general purpose treatment for the dreaded Mealybug, Mold, Powdery Mildew, Aphids, etc....USER BEWARE: Always do a test patch before using on your precious and dearest plants.
NOTE: Methylated Spirit is also known as Denatured Alcohol in other countries. Please be aware that the one I use in this video is Ethanol base 95% proof. Methanol and Ethanol are different types of alcohol or chemicals. Methylated spirits is Ethanol (alcohol) is what I use. Ethanol is less chemically toxic than Methanol.
Methanol is extremely toxic to humans if ingested or if vapors are inhaled. .

ATTENTION: Please disregard % and use 1 cup and 1/4 cup ratio or 250 ml(Metho/Denatured alcohol) and 60ml(water).
1 cup Metho to 1/4 cup water or 250ml(8 fl oz) to 60ml(2 fl oz).THANK YOU!!!
Thank you, Liz, for sharing your secret weapon 😍 I will try next time.
Thank you so much for sharing this tip....as I keep spraying them with water n am constantly worried about root rot
I'm about to attempt to treat my PVN and Sunburst for powdery mildew.... If my soil has dried out, should I still water?
I will try that I have a tunnel house and have Mildrew big time
Do you still use those and is it 190 proof 95% ethyl alcohol?
Hi Liz. I’m addicted to succulents as well 🙈 My succulents saved me from serious medical and mental problems. I’ve learnt so much from your videos.
I just wanted to pass on a tip I learnt when propagating leaves. If you find your leaf is only throwing out lots of roots, but no babies or little ‘pimples’ as you call them 😂…try pulling of half the amount of roots on the leaf. This often work and you’ll have more pimples in no time. Let me know how it works for you 💜
Thanks Paula. Will definitely try that out.
I wanted you to know Liz that I just shared a video “Indoor Succulent Garden part 2” on my TH-cam channel which shares a USA variation of this recipe that I was able to get my hands on as a substitute here in America. I also shared a link to your video directing people here as well. Giving you full credit. Lastly I wanted to thank you for sharing this originally. As over the years it has been a game changer for me. ❤
Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad the metho solution works for you too. Wishing you all the very best with your channel. 🥰
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Thank you Liz. I appreciate that. 💕
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing succulents have a blessed day my friend
Thank you for sharing! I have tried so many things and am hopeful to try this! Hopefully it will be the last fungicide/pesticide trial 🙏🏻
Vigilance is key. I use this as an immediate fix when they're present and always check a couple of days later incase I missed some. Also good practice to remove the white cotton after it dried to see the new infestations better. Good luck.
Hi Liz, I love your videos! They are very fun, informative and entertaining. My succulents are much healthier now and I have you to thank! Cheers from Sydney!
Wonderful! I'm glad my videos have been useful to you. Thanks for watching and hope you continue to enjoy growing these wonderful plants.
Thanks for sharing your secret weapon Ms Liz… can you also share your secret for fungus, black spots on leaves and i’m looking forward to watch your vids about root rot… 🥰
Great video... perfect timing for me. I just bought some new starts, and they need therapy.
(I feel like i'm being teased with your stones in the background), lol. I look forward to the next video, THX Liz
Need to do an unpacking rock video and the weather is not cooperating. Cold, wet and windy.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK the weather needs to get it's self together, haha!
Haha that warning noise definitely woke me up! Love this video will try this out!
Hope you it works for you Jack. Thanks for watching.
Hello Miss Liz I’ve been following your vlog and I enjoy it very much. Thank you for sharing. I just started collecting succulents and with the solution that your using to treat your succulents , do you need to rinse it after?
No you don't.
Good to know!! I'm having the same problems.... I will try that 😊 I love watching your videos🇦🇺👍
Thanks for watching Masako. Hope it works for you too.
Thank you so much for sharing. I noticed some aphids on my E Blue Prince yesterday and panicked, so this is a god-send.
Hi Liz! Love all your videos! I was just wondering if this effects the farina on any of your succulents? I was just about to start spraying but figured I should ask first. 🙂
Not at all. Thanks for watching.
Hi Liz, our weather here (NZ) is so damp warm even cool at times that my dahlias are showing signs of white spots on the leaves .. do you think it would be safe to use the meths solution on them? Do you think it would hurt the bees? Thanks for any suggestions, Yvonne
If it's powdery mildew on Dahlia, it will kill the fungus spores on contact but might need to provide more air circulation. Always do a test patch first to make sure it doesn't burn the leaves. I find that it doesn't worry the bees because it dries up so fast, but I always prefer to not spray it on the flowers where the nectar is.
Thanks Liz, I didnt think it would do any harm, as I weed I remove some of the leaves specially from the bottom of the plants close to the earth. I thought your idea was a cheaper and simpler way to deal with the problem rather than commercial sprays which I prefer not to use. Many thanks for the help.@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK
I love you video! Thankyou for sharing your secret to get rid of those bug's! I'm going to bunnings tomorrow to get this metho.
Good luck!
Hi Liz! How regulary do you apply this? Every few days or weekly? I have been struck by powdery mildew😢 thankyou! Love your videos
For powdery mildew, I use it 2 to 3 times max within a couple of weeks.
Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely going to try it. Any suggestions for nematodes?
Good nematodes or bad nematodes? I haven't had any problems with the bad ones yet. I believe if you have a healthy soil, the good ones can control the bad ones especially in a garden scenario. But if you have the bad ones in pots and it killed your plant, I would get rid of the soil and also the plant with it.
Liz you are wonderful!
QUESTION: I have a lot if new leaf cutting with maybe 3 to 4 plants PER LEAF! Do I separate them or just let them all grow and separate them in a year???
Both! I sometimes just put the whole lot in if there's no roots and the leaf is dry and if they have roots that I can separate, then I separate them and plant separately.
Hi Liz! Question, I saw another video where you said this will help dry out the soil as well. If you have a pot that had mold/fungus/root rot/etc. would you throw out all the soil? Or can the soil be saved maybe with this spray?
Fungus can lay dormant in clean/fresh soil for years and need the right condition to wake them up. Wet, humid and dark places with no air circulation is an ideal place for them to grow. If I were to reuse infected soil, I would pop them first in the oven or microwave before reusing.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK that’s right I’ve heard you can sterilize soil in the oven! How long and at what temperature would you do?
Hey Liz, super nice and easy way of doing away with pests. My question is can use it as a preventive measure on succulents and on anyother foliage plants? I live on the east coast of India , weather is hot and humid most of the year.
You can to kill the spores but otherwise, it's more of a remedy.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Got it. Thank you. And hope the snow/hails have not done any bad to your babies. Loved that video of yours and the rainbow umbrella tooo 😀
This is very useful info. In the Phil i spend too much for Thieves solution. But now that i have discover your Channel, i have learned a lot and now inspired more to collect and propa more of succulents. I really Love your garden and i hope i can grow Mine as fabulous and as amazing as yours
Glad you like them! Salamat po for watching.
Thanks Tita Beautiful. Here in japan we called it denatured alcohol.
Love all your videos ❤
Can I use neem oil instead of methylated spirit?
Never used Neem oil yet.
Hi, I just wanted to say you can but Neem oil left some marks on my succulent leaves even when I used it during the evening so it had time to dry out before the next morning. I’ll only use Neem oil treatment on my edible food plants now. Will be trying this metho spray for succulents next time I see any mealies etc.
YAASSS KILL THAT MEALY BUGGGG!!! I hate it soo much that I don't like using perlite, since it looks like mealy bug. 🤣
Hi Liz, what do you think about mixing dishwashing liquid, rubbing alcohol ? Have you ever try it…. Happy New Year to you
Never tried it but it should work with aphids.
Hi Liz, do you rinse it after a few hours to prevent leaves from burning?
No need to rinse if you follow the ratio in this video. Cheers
Your awesome just wanted to say thank you!
You're welcome, Hayley! Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great day!🥰
thanks for the video Liz, but is this safe for our health?
Denatured alcohol or metho is basically the same stuff used for some hand sanitizers.
Hi Liz this is the only one I could find on Amazon to ship to me in Mexico, Is this suitable? Medical Grade Ethanol - 95% Ethyl Alcohol - for Hand Sanitizer Production - No Fermentation Smell - Does Not Contain Methanol (Ethyl Alcohol - Medical Grade ( They also have Neem oil, but it's to greasy for my liking. Any advice you can give would be greatly helpful. Blessings from Mexico
That's perfect. Try it first with my ratio(1 cup metho to 1/4 cup water) and adjust to suit.
Thank you po!Ang poproblemahin ko nalang kung san ako makakahanap ng ganyan🤣
Marami sa pilipinas "de natured alcohol." 60 pesos lang po per 350cc. Lucky brand or Flying Tiger.
can I use gin as a substitute? i love your videos! from the Philippines!
Haven't tried gin. Please let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Liz.
May I know if I can use 100% Iso Propyl Alcohol instead of Metho? If so, will the proportion the same as yours formula?
The Metho I use is 95% Ethanol. May I suggest mixing a small amount and trying it on a common plant and see how it works. Good luck.
Millions thanks for your suggestion
Hi Liz! Just a little clarification, Any ethanol alcohol will work as long as it’s food grade..?
I don't know about Ethanol but here's a link of what I use. Please read the PRODUCT DATA SHEET so you can compare with the ones you get from your country.
diggersaustralia.com.au/product/diggers-methylated-spirits/
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Alright I’ll check it out thank you! Keep up the great work!🌱💕
Hi Liz! Where can I buy this in the United States?
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK yes, I was confused when I looked it up here in the US.. it says it’s not for consumption and is poisonous so I was very confused.. I’m pretty sure you’re Metho is different there.
@@ilovecornell methylique spirit is poisonous due to what they add in it. That's why they call it denatured. Ethanol is the ingestable alcohol. But it's safe to use for cleaning glasses and stuff.
I'm a new seccullent lover. I'm in love with all your plants they are just so.... beautiful. I just wanted to ask can I use it with hand sanitizer and follow the ratio which is shown in the video.
I've never used hand sanitizers as metho is a much cheaper option. You can always try and please let me know how it goes. Thanks!
Hi! Did you ever try the hand sanitizer on your succulents?
Hi liz, I just have a little question. Have you ever tried using acetone instead of denatured alcohol?
I haven't and probably wouldn't because its more expensive here than denatured alcohol/methylated spirit. If works for me so I stick to it.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Oh I see; well, I guess I'll try it out and see if it does killl fungus. Thanks for answering liz, have a nice day!!!
Hi Liz. Do I need to keep the plants under shed after the treatment? Thanks
No you don't. You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Hi Liz, I just sprayed with this solution for those pesky little mealies from a new purchase 🤦🏽♀️ & was wondering how long until I need to re-spray or just wait & see?
I usually leave it for a couple of hours and check again.
See now this is exactly what I need is not really a spot treatment but something that I can just spray right on and be done with it but I know it's not as simple as that
This is not a preventative systemic treatment. This is more a direct when you have them treatment and it really is that simple.
Does this physically remove the sooty mold ? Thank you 😊
For sooty mold that's dried up on the surface of the leaves, best to use water with a bit of dishwashing liquid(1 liter water to 1 tablespoon of dish liquid).
Hello!! Another video with your beautiful babies 🤩
Thank you! 🤗
My succulents have recently been chewed on by caterpillars. Can I use this to solve the problem or do you have a suggestion for me.
Manual removal is the only way to get rid of them. They're mostly active at night time and much easier to spot them.
Hi Liz. I live in Melbourne. Is this safe on other plants? I have a Lace Myrtle. Every year when the leaves grow back, it gets white fungus or powdery mildew on it, not sure which it is. It's only little but I feel it would grow faster if I could stop this fungus from recurring? plus I worry it will die
I have used this solution in my indoor plants such as begonia, pothos, philodendron, peperomia, etc. You can do a little test patch overnight to see how it will affect the plant. Otherwise, if it's my Lace Myrtle.... I would just cut off the affected stem if it's not too much.
If you do use the metho solution, check after 4 days to see if it shows up again.
How often do you spray the plants for different issues like fungus, mealybugs, etc? thank you ❤️
Not much at all. I only spray when there's bugs or fungus present. With the thousands of plants I have, maybe one plant a week. I hardly get bugs at all and powdery mildew only happens because of rain, but still also rarely get them. I use this metho spray when they're present.
Thanks for this video! I ordered and received my denatured alcohol. When a succulent rots in the ground, could I saturate the soil with this spray to make the soil okay for new succulents in the same soil?
To re-use a previously infected soil, I just pour boiling hot water on the soil. This kills all the nasty stuff and much cheaper.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Brilliant and easy. Thank you so much! :D
Hi Liz :)
Will 93% denatured alcohol do the trick? I’m not sure we can get it any higher in Denmark 😅
Metho and denatured alcohol are the same. Just mix a small amount and see and increase or decrease the ratio if needed. Good luck.
Miss Liz can I use regular alcohol and same ratio coz here in the USA we don’t have that product here.
Meron po nyan sa US. Denatured alcohol po ang tawag dyan.
Thank you Ateh….
We have the product On Amazon
I'm using isoprophylic alcohol. It burns those mealybugs like crazy but thinker leafed succulents will get burned as well.
Thank you for this video! I am more interested in the powdery mildew because it has been wreaking havoc on my plants this summer. First I thought it was due to the humidity and all the rain we’ve been getting but then I read it Hass to do with dry hot conditions so I really can’t get a direct explanation of what actually causes it. I used a baking soda dish soap water mixture and it completely ruined some of my plants all the leaves turn yellow and orange And just dropped off. And I didn’t even get a lot of it in the soil! Anyway I will be purchasing some denatured alcohol😁❤️😁❤️
I had powdery mildew in a couple of my Crassula ovata before and I sprayed one with Eco pest and all the leaves fell off. The other I sprayed with this Metho magic and it's still alive outside battling the frost.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK I just recently bought this store-bought garden safe brand fungicide and although it is working better than the baking soda mixture it is still having some adverse effects on a couple different plants. I mostly now have the mildew more on propagations that were upstairs in my plant room believe it or not so hopefully I’ve conquered it outside for now but even the store-bought stuff I bought says it’s for pests fungicide and a whole range of issues I’d rather use what you’re using you haven’t steered me wrong yet❤️❤️❤️
Hi Miss Liz, it is advisable to use this for watering to succulent? most of mealybugs and ants are hiding in roots :(
You can spray the soil, roots of your succulent for mealy bug but not for ants. I have different solution for ants.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Thanks for the advice po...
Good evening!!! Just now having my first pest experience 😫 I found mealybugs but wasn't much worried with those in hopes of a crested succulent maybe 😅 jk! I mainly have spider mites! They're all over everything! Would this mix work for them as well?
I had some spider mites on my Crassula Buddha temple and I just sprayed them a couple months ago with this metho solution and they seem to be okay and growing well. Just do a small test patch first. Good luck.
Hi Liz, can I use the violet metho or does it have to be the clear metho?
I always say....if it doubt, just try it out on a common plant and you'll soon find out. Cheers
Thank Liz for sharing .
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching.
Very good 👍👏👌
Thank you very much.
Great tute
Amazing! I thought it would burn the plants especially tiny babies from leaf propagation. Thank you very much for solution!
If used without water, it will burn the plant. The ratio in this video I find is the perfect combination. Thanks for watching.
Hi Liz…I’m writing from the U.S. and I’ve never seen denatured alcohol . It looks like window cleaner by the way it cleans . Is that what it is?
The one and only. If you're not sure, I advice to ALWAYS try on a common plant and wait a couple of days. If it burns the plants, then don't use it.
I looked this up on Amazon and it does come available . The description does give me pause because it says it is clean burning fuel for alcohol burning appliances ?! This is what you’re putting on your plants?
Yes it is Albert and very safe as long as you follow the ratio in this video. It's the same stuff used for hand sanitizer.
No! They have regent which is more pure than laboratory, at 95% on Amazon
Perfect thankyou Liz. I'm off to Bunnings to get some metho .....you know what else snail pallets cause they keep eating my babies 😭
I usually put some beer in a plastic container and place somewhere in the garden where it's not going to get rained on and they go to it, drink and drown.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK oh wow 🍻 too easy thanks so much....🤣 ..I will gladly share my beer with them snails to get them away from my babies.....you are so clever I'm so happy I found you 🙏💙 love you too much 😁
hey liz thanks for sharing this formula on treating infested plants,but i do want to know if its safe to use on succulents that have furina on the leave will it remove it?
Yes, absolutely.
salamat sa pag share momie lizk😘
Hi Liz ive been looking for the clear metho you use in local NZ trade shops can only find the purple solution will thus do the trick still or should I hunt down the diggers brand for the clear solution you use too scared to use the purple just incase all even though is test b4 going all out. How long should a test run be for 2 days or more time?
Test result can be achieved when the solution dries up(around 10 minutes). The purple solution will stay on the plant until it grows out. Purple is a pretty color...LOL
It is a pretty colour but will it make my lauii and dudleya go purple
@@rosaburta902 Yes it will.
@@rosaburta902 Hi Rosa, I was able to find clear metho in NZ through Gordon Harris Art Supply if you are living in Auckland area. I think they have a branch in Albany and Newmarket. You may need to check their website if they do delivery for this. It’s a little bit more expensive though.Hope this helps 😀
Digger meth you can buy from Bunnings I am also from nz
Hey mam, I was wondering if you could give us a substitute if we're watching from USA? We don't have diggers or methylated spirits. We have 2 choices, ethynol alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. Any ideas?
Denatured alcohol is what it's called in USA. Pick the one that's closest to 95% proof. Don't get the pharmaceutical grade that is 200% proof.
You can get denatured alcohol at any big box home store like Lowe’s or home depot or ace hardware.
will this be too strong for tropical country setting? got sooty mold issue in some of my plants
It doesn't hurt the plant in any season with the ratio in the video. You can always spray in the shade and once it dries up, put it back where it was.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thanks. sprayed now and hope that the soot will die down.
Metho in UK is pink not clear. Will it matter?
Good morning thank you for sharing
Thank you too for watching.
Thank you Liz . Is it the same as ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL ? because I can't find METHO where I live.
Methylated Spirit is also known as Denatured Alcohol in other countries. The one I use in this video is Ethanol base 95% proof.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizKyes whenever I search for metho it gives me Isopropyl so I think I can purchase it as it is saying 95% also. Thanks xoxoxo
@@ramaahbk6596 Liz is correct, here in the states its Denatured Alcohol, I am in the process of treating my outdoor succulents so I can bring them in before the freezing rain and snow of October, I've been researching online and keep being referred to isopropyl, but thats pure alcohol, Denatured has other components and is ethanol based. I haven't tested it yet, only been able to find 190-200 proof. Once I find a 95 proof product I'll test it out. Hope that helps!
*Isopropal alcohol* is a slightly different chemical compound. Liz use to use it for mealy bugs but She has a video about why she no longer does that I haven't had the chance to watch yet.
*Denatured Alcohol* (aka Methylated spirits or Methanol in Europe & Australia & Canada) is the same chemical make-up as Ethanol (aka ethyl alcohol) which is the same as alcohol you drink, but is a much stronger alcohol content. Moonshine is what we're talking about (aprox 100 proof), but poisonous chemicals have been put into it to keep people from drinking it so the government can control (tax) the stuff you drink. People have died from drinking it, which makes one think a little differently about the government's desire to tax us over their desire to "protect" us. Anyway, you wouldn't want to drink straight moonshine (although some people do it), but it can be diluted to be like Vodka (which is about 80 proof). Typical Denatured Alcohol is around 100 proof (same as moonshine). With Liz's dilution of I Cup Alcohol to 1/4 Cup water, Vodka is in the ballpark. I'm going to try it, test it on something I have too many of (Ghost plant) to see how it does. I bought some nasty, cheap, rotgut vodka on sale for cleaning and making herbal tinctures for things like sore throats and sanitizing things. You can make vanilla extract with rum and vanilla bean. Alcohol has many uses, that's why I bought it even though I don't drink, and it never goes bad, that's why the bottles I have in the back of the cupboard are 20+ years old.
Hi Liz, trying to copy your formula here in California, I checked Amazon and found 95% Denatured Etyl Alcohol Laboratory grade for educational and research use, will this work with your ratio? Pls advise …. Thanks
The ones we have here in OZ are the ones used for cooking. It's also 95% proof. May I suggest doing a small test on some indoor plants and also some inexpensive and common succulents. I haven't had any of my plants affected by this mixture so far. Only dead mealies.
Hi Liz, thanks, I found one without methanol for hand sanitizer which is also used for household cleaning ….. I think this will work, but will test it. Thanks!!
@@maggienery6293 did you have any luck with it? I’m also looking at this item
@@maggienery6293 HI there I am in the US and can't find the food grade version on Amazon. Could you give us a link to the one you were able to find?
Thanks for the information
Can I use alcohol instead of what did you use ☺️
Rubbing alcohol won't work. Denatured alcohol is another name for metho.
Does this work on scale also if not what do u use, thanx
Never had scale on succulents but had experience scale on my cigar plant. I manually scrape them off and sprayed my plant with soapy water and they never came back.
Maam Liz will this leave marks sa mga succulents po na may Farina ?
No it doesn't and that's what I love about it.
Salamat Maam.Liz..amping permi
Could you use rubbing alcohol and can this be used on all plants of just succulents
I have a video using rubbing alcohol and sprayed it on mealybug. When it dried up, the meallies started walking away.
Hi Liz how often do you spray
I only spray when needed if there's mealies or powdery mildew present. Then I check after a day or two.
The only denture alcohol I can find here in California says 95% 200 proof. Please help I remember looking at this last year in searching for a long time. I wound up trying different things throughout the winter and my plants have disease makes me so sad. Probably going to have to pull off a lot more leaves than I thought which is heartbreaking. If this one this one won't work and I can't find the methylated spirits what would be your second choice for getting rid of the disease on succulents? Thank you
I'm sure you can use the ones you have. Maybe play around with the ration of water and alcohol and always do a test patch to see if this burns the plant or kill the mealybug.
Most of the time with fungus, they are due to overwatering and not enough air circulation.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you very much for answering Liz. I have admired you for a long time. I started watching you during the covid and now I have thousands of plants. LoL I thought they only needed water and once a month or so... Lol
I love them, thank for helping me learn. I had no idea about succulents before. It has been too much moisture in the structure I kept my succulents in over the winter. I talk to my plants and they love it;) I know they're not human but they're alive so I have a hard time throwing them away, even leaves. I'm learning that it's better for all of them if I'm more aggressive with getting rid of disease on the plants rather than only treat so that it doesn't spread. Happy growing. I pray you have a blessed day
PS I've always had a green thumb but I never grow succulents and now that's 97% of what I have in the yard:)
I think you used 3/4 of a cup of metho and 1/4 cup of water for your 75% metho solution
Good catch! THANKS very much Paul. Please disregard % and use 1 cup and 1/4 cup or 250 ml(metho) and 60ml(water).
Thanks you so much Liz!
video help me a lot.
My Succunt have melybug I’m change all the new soil😂.
Happy to help! Best of luck with your babies.
Thank you! I’ve poured alcohol directly onto some mealys just to see them die right away…😑😭 and I come back and they’re back at it again! Neem oil doesn’t work either! So this gives me hope! Summer here has been brutal and mealys have been loving it 😒
Wow so…denatured alcohol has been banned in California 😱
Oh no!!!!
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK I believe I found some….🤔 😬

Hi, can I use this solution against rust fungus on my succulents?
Haven't tried it on rust on succulents yet. If you do try it, would be curious to know how it works. Thanks for watching.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK I will definitely give it a try, and thanks for sharing. Looking forward for your next video!
My big problem is fungus, i soak them in fungiside+water at night when its time to watering.. what do you think with this? I've done it twice and they seems fine so far... 🤔
I prefer a more organic approach and have never used any chemical fungiside.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK how about baking soda and dish soap? I havent tried it yet but some succulent grower use that for fungus..
can I use it on newly planted succulents?
Just do a test patch first. Wait a few days.
Can this be used on vegetable plants
It is safe for vegetables but always good idea to wash vegetables before eating or cooking.
Hi Lizk can this solution kill scale on the leavesn of my Succulents?
I believe the only way you can remove scales is by manually removing them. I only ever found scales on my plants when I don't water for a long time. I have sprayed this on my indoor plants with scales but can't be sure if it actually killed them or they just went away because I watered my plants.
I have two denatured alcohol. One is 70% and one is 90%. Which one should I use,?
The one I use contains over 95% Ethanol.
They don't allow sales in California. Anything else work like that?
Not the laboratory grade. You can get hold of denatured alcohol use by catering businesses for use in heating the food in parties.
watching again 😊
You're the best!🤗
Would this work for fungus gnats? How is this different from rubbing alcohol?
Not for fungus gnats.
The rubbing alcohol we get here in Australia is not as strong as the Methylated spirit.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thanks!
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK How can we deal with fungal gnats?
we don't have it here, but we have alcohol 95% that is used to make liquors, could it replace the product?
These products varies in different parts of the world so may I suggest to just try it on some common plant and see.
May I use 200 proof Denatured Alcohol (Ethanol)? I can get it for less by the gallon. The smaller bottle I purchased on Amazon was probably a "fake" product, as it did not kill powdery mildew at all even though I measured 1 cup Denatured Alcohol to 1/4 c of water. I'm now going direct to the manufacturer and they sell it by the gallon and 200 proof (which I hope can work if I dilute more since it is stronger).
Methylated Spirit is also known as Denatured Alcohol in other countries. Please be aware that the one I use in this video is Ethanol base 95% proof.
Hi, thank you so much for your videos. I get to learn a lot from watching them. I am fascinated by your sucvulents, all beautiful! You have a very pleasant voice, very clear and entertaining on the side....nagpapatawa rin po kyo minsan....🥰🥰🥰
Glad you like them! Salamat po.
Can I use it on grasses?
You can do a test patch and please let me know how it goes.😉
Will it work if I use 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol?
I tried rubbing alcohol and didn't work for me. Maybe you can try doing a test patch on a common plant.
Well I think I have mealybugs on my succulents. I just started my collection so I’m worried. I don’t see many of them. Wish me luck I might use peppermint spray instead.
Be careful with oil mixtures... I learnt the hard way!

Can I use alcohol as a substitute?
