My grandmother has always had this habit of boiling garlic, and when I found out why, I was amazed because it was a method I had never seen before. Now, I use this trick myself and 
I’m really happy with the results. Let me share with you the benefits of boiled garlic. 
You may have noticed that some of your plants in the garden or on your balcony seem to be struggling for no apparent reason. The leaves turn yellow, insects appear, or unwanted fungi take over. If this sounds familiar, know that there’s a simple and natural solution: a garlic and cinnamon infusion. Easy to prepare and inexpensive, this decoction serves as a powerful disinfectant for your plants.
Why is garlic so effective?
Garlic is known for its many properties: it is antifungal, antibacterial, and insecticidal. Its sulfur compounds act as a natural repellent against many pests and also protect plants from certain fungal diseases.
What’s even better? Adding cinnamon to the garlic! It also has antifungal properties, enhancing the effectiveness of the decoction and contributing to the health of your plants.
The natural decoction recipe: Ingredients:
- 5 garlic cloves with their skins
- 350 ml of water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Preparation:
- Lightly crush the garlic cloves to release their active compounds.
- Place them in a pot with the cinnamon sticks.
- Add the water and bring to a boil.
- Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- Allow it to cool, then strain the solution.
How to use it on your plants:
Once cooled, you can spray the decoction directly on the leaves of the plants or pour the solution around the roots to prevent diseases and repel insects. Here’s how to use it:
- Apply it once a week for a preventive effect.
- Use it at the end of the day to prevent the sun from burning the wet leaves.
- Store the solution in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 days to maintain its effectiveness.
What problems can this decoction solve?
- Repelling aphids and mites: the smell of garlic is an excellent repellent for these pests.
- Preventing fungal diseases: it’s effective against powdery mildew, downy mildew, or rust.
- Repelling ants and other insects: these insects hate the smell of garlic.
A natural alternative to chemical products! With this simple method, you no longer need to rely on chemical products. Your garden will stay healthy while respecting nature.
