Now, one month after my Ae Ae has arrived, the second leaf has emerged and the third one is already visible. My AeAe is growing like weed. But now i moved it inside, because it got quite cold outside and I don't want to risk anything in the first winter.
But I discovered some aphids, which I will treat with a "home made" pesticide. It's a nicotine brew. I added tobacco of 2 cigarettes and some water and boiled it for a few minutes and I'll spray this on the aphids and the rest of the plant. They should be gone after a few days and repeated treatment. Nicotine is harmless to the plant but highly toxic to a lot of pests.
Should be applied only outside and keep the plant away from kids and animals for a few days
I did this many years ago and it helped perfectly.
