What to do if the fortune tree has bugs

1. Scale insects

1. Add water to liquor

If it is scale insects, you can mix white wine and water in a ratio of 1:2, and then pour it on the potting soil. This kind of insect is generally most active in the spring when the room temperature is 7 degrees, so you can water it once in April, and then again every half a month. You will see the effect after 4 consecutive times.

2. Vinegar

To prevent and control this kind of insect, you can also dip a small cotton ball in vinegar and apply it to the damaged stems and leaves to kill the insect. This method is not only safe and convenient, but also can remove insects and restore the damaged leaves to their luster as soon as possible.

3. Alcohol

Repeatedly wiping the affected area with alcohol can effectively eliminate this insect and remove it very cleanly. Even scale insects that cannot be seen with the naked eye will be completely eliminated and will not recur the following year.

2. Red spider

If it is red spider mites, you need to use special medicine to spray directly to prevent and control it. Try to spray as many times as possible, otherwise it will not be effective.

3. Moth and Butterfly Larvae

If it is these two types of insects, it will be easier to deal with. Just catch them with your hands.

4. Post-maintenance

In order to prevent the insects from appearing again, we must do routine maintenance work. For example, when the temperature is high, we should reduce watering, because insects are most likely to appear in hot and humid conditions. Then place it in a place with weak light for 2 to 4 weeks, and then move it back to a place with strong light.
