... my jostaberries were affected by mulberry scale. The trunk and some buds were covered in a chalky deposit and budding was inhibited... Without any great expectations, I applied 3 pellets of Petroleum 30 C, which I had dissolved in water. Just three days later, the white layer was almost completely gone and the buds were forming again. After a second dose of 3 pellets of Petroleum 30 C, the finally traces of the pest disappeared and the plant looked completely healthy. (496)

Sticky leaves, scale insects on both sides of leaves, bases, midribs and stalks. (337)

Leaves speckled with lighter colour. Leaves dry up and fall in bad infestations [of spider mites]. (337)

I sprayed a second hibiscus suffering infestation with red spider mites. Nothing happened! [after using Cimicifuga] Then I sprayed it with Petroleum 30 C - all the spiders and their webs were gone!!!!! (496)

A single 5-year-old vine with 4-5 shoots carrying fruit in the garden of Juliane W. had many "buckled" leaves - due to infestation with the grape erineum mite. ... At the end of May, the leaves were sprayed with a pressure sprayer filled with Petroleum 30 C... The infestation then stopped. New leaves were healthy and the affected leaves showed no further signs of damage. (496)

Had aphids on potted pepper plants which were not responding to our herbal sprays for aphids - Applied cimicifuga followed by petroleum. The aphids cleared out and the plants regained vitality. (832)

Our big 2.50 metre high "Catalpa" tree was comprehensively pruned last autumn, and the crown was severely thinned out. This year in June large numbers of small, pale white hairy lice appeared. At the same time, there were oily black drops all over the leaves, spilling onto the ground (fig 1) ... On June 22nd the tree was treated with Petroleum 30 C (6 pellets in 20 litres of water), poured onto the roots, and the oily drops subsequently disappeared. But then an even stronger glistening, sticky honey-like film appeared on the leaves and the ground beneath the tree. Seven days after Petroleum 30 C, we applied the same dose of Sulphur 200 C (twice, at an interval of five days). Some leaves fell off since they had died due to the sucking action; but the lice only slowly diminished in number. On July 9th 2015 Maute-Rundum 30 C was applied by watering the tree with a solution of 8 pellets in 30 litres of water. The lice then rapidly declined, and had completely disappeared by July 14th.

I've got a series of large hibiscus pot plants. Every year when I bring them back into the house, they quickly come down with aphids. Then I give the plants 'poison capsules'. One dose keeps the plants free of aphids the whole winter. So that's what I've been doing with success (though not with a clear conscience!!!) for years now. This year everything was different: one plant was covered in black aphids (buds and flowers), and the aphids were not repelled even by repeat doses of the poison capsules. They were constantly reproducing but thankfully did not attack the neighbouring plants. When I got my homeopathic remedies, I put a few pellets of Cimicifuga 30 C in a sprayer, shook it, and sprayed my hibiscus. The next day I could scarcely believe my eyes – the aphids were gone. I sprayed a second hibiscus suffering infestation with red spider mites. Nothing happened! Then I sprayed it with Petroleum 30 C – all the spiders and their webs were gone!!!!! I can scarcely believe it!!! I just did not reckon it would work so quickly!! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures – as evidence!!! (496)

Attack of whitefly and spider mite on lemon and mandarin trees as well as almond and fig trees. The small trees are brought into the house by Ms M. to overwinter in a cool and light place. Here they are regularly infested in February or March by spider mite and whitefly. This time they were watered and sprayed daily with Petroleum 30 C (12 pellets in 5 litres of water). After three days there was a noticeable improvement and after a week the pests had disappeared. The tubs were later put onto the balcony, where they were not infested again. (496)

Some cabbage plants showed signs of a massive infestation with whitefly. When watering, clouds of flies rose into the air. The plants were treated by watering with Petroleum 30 C (5 pellets in 5 litres of water) at an interval of 2-3 days. The infestation declined, with only a few flies visible - no comparison to the situation before the application of the remedy... It takes about a week for them to disappear. But the effect remains and the plants seemed to be strengthened generally. (496)

When plants are weakened after frost. Good for sclerophyllous plants (337)

Sensitive to cold draughts.Ailments from too little light or warm dry air indoors. (337)
