How to deal with the glue from the fortune tree

How to deal with the glue from the fortune tree

1. Causes

The money tree may produce gum because it has been infested by insects. Its leaves or branches may suffer from gummosis after being bitten by some pests such as scale insects. At this time, a transparent, gelatinous liquid will flow out from the bitten area. If not dealt with in time, it will lead to poor plant growth.

2. Treatment methods

1. Wipe and prune: When you find that it has symptoms of gum flow, first prepare a clean wet wipe and wipe off all the gum that has flowed out. Then, use scissors to cut off the leaves that are infested with insects, the leaves that have gum oozing out, and the leaves that have insect holes. If the side branches are bleeding, you can also cut them off. But if the main branch is leaking gum, do not prune it easily.

2. Spray pesticides to kill insects: After pruning, place it in a warm, well-ventilated location and spray it with some pesticides for treatment. Spray about once every 2-3 days, but the medicine must be diluted before use. If you take care of it like this for a period of time, it will gradually recover and become healthy again.
