The bottle will serve as a sort of anchor. On this axis you will place the other containers. They are also made from wine bottles. But this time the bottles have to be cut in half and you will use only the upper part hanging upside down.

Both adults and nymphs suck plant sap, which usually causes distorted leaves, buds, branch tips, and flowers. Severely infested leaves and flowers may drop. As they feed, aphids excrete a sweet, sticky honeydew onto the leaves below. This allows a sooty mold to grow, which, in addition to being ugly to look at, blocks light from leaves. Also, some aphids spread viruses as they feed. CLICK TO READ MORE .
