I started growing trees during lockdown to maintain sanity and now my plants are in crisis.

I've got a couple dozen tree seedlings growing under lights indoors. I noticed last night that 6 or so of my plants had many soil aphids in them. Has anyone dealt with this pest before? I need help with them.

I've moved all of the plants with any aphids outside, away for the (maybe) uninfected ones.

    You need some neem oil. emulsify a teaspoon of it in a spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of dish soap. Spray your babies every couple of days.
