Lance, you might try submerging the plants in a bucket of rain or
distilled water for a day or two or three. Anything over a day the
plants might not be thrilled about, but the aphids should be even less
impressed.

I've only read about this method of pest control, I haven't tried it
myself. Maybe someone with more experience can vouch for this method's
efficacy (or lack thereof) against aphids?

Hope this helps
Philip
