Pests and diseases

Generally speaking, glass jade is more susceptible to bacterial blight and powdery mildew. As for insect pests, it is easily harmed by aphids, red spiders and mealybugs, so we must prevent the infection and spread of plant diseases and pests in a timely manner.

Environmental Control

Pathogens generally tend to multiply in large numbers under high temperature and high humidity conditions, so when we plant plants, we must avoid planting them too closely to ensure ventilation. If you are planting in a greenhouse and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, you should not water it in the evening, because the temperature will drop at night and the indoor humidity will be too high, and sometimes condensation will occur. In addition, maintaining a suitable temperature can also help reduce the spread of germs. Be sure to pay attention to environmental hygiene. Once infected leaves are found, they must be removed in time. At the same time, do not wet the leaves when watering.

Drug prevention

In addition to creating a good growing environment, the use of pesticides is also indispensable. Various fungicides can effectively control the spread of pests and diseases. Please note that in seasons with excessive temperatures, the air is humid and plant stems are prone to rot. Friends who want to carry out asexual propagation by cuttings should not choose to do it at this time to avoid the rotting of the cuttings due to contamination of the mother plant, which will make it difficult for the plants to take root or grow unhealthily.

In addition, the editor would like to tell you some simple methods to control pests. You can soak cigarettes, laundry detergent or white vinegar in water and spray it on the plants to effectively kill insects.
