Turns out there are bigger threats than cute Churro and they come in droves and stubbornly persistent.
Do not underestimate the black dots on my plant. They are not moles from sun exposure. They are the dreaded aphids, plants lice. Yes kutu tumbuh-tumbuhan. They attach themselves to the plant and suck the sap until the plant died.
Uncle alerted me 3 weeks ago...
Uncle : Did you notice the black dots on your plants?
Me: Yea.
Uncle: Those are aphids you know.
Me: Simi aphids? Not dirt meh?
Uncle: NO LAR, aphids are like parasites, they will kill your plant.
Me: HAR, REALLY!!
Uncle: Yes, last year I had major fight with them on the cherry tree. They eat all the cherries. Luckily can still save the tree.
Me: Shit.. that's not very comforting..
Despite my best effort, 4 of my tulips are already on their way to green heaven. Uncle suggested that I coat the leaves with soap water to kill the aphids and prevent them from attaching to the plant again.

Me: Uncle, it didn't work la, the aphids still come back after i wash with soap water.
Uncle: Hm...~check check plant~ did you water your plants after that?
Me: Yes, I did. I pour water to wash away the soap ma.
Uncle: ~Facepalm~ of course it come back lar, you wash the soap away. Put a coat of soap water with earbud and leave it.
Me; Orh....
Kanasai, Aphids!! I wish I can feed them to my Venus flytrap.
