Common diseases and pests of lipstick flower and their prevention and control methods

Lipstick Anthracnose

Symptoms: In summer, when the weather is hot and humid, lipstick flowers are very susceptible to anthrax. When the disease occurs, many small spots will appear on the leaves, gradually expanding to form yellow-brown circular spots. When the disease is severe, most of the leaves will turn black and die, and sometimes black spots will appear on the stems.

Prevention and control methods: Strengthening maintenance, maintaining good ventilation conditions, lowering air humidity, reducing nitrogen fertilizer, and increasing calcium fertilizer can effectively prevent the occurrence of this disease. In addition, drug prevention and control can also be used. When the disease first occurs, 500 times diluted 50% carbendazim or 500 times diluted 65% mancozeb can be used for prevention.

Is the newly bought lipstick flower susceptible to disease ?

In fact, the lipstick plant is really not susceptible to diseases. It is a gentle and charming female in the spider plant family. But why is the lipstick plant you bought home so easy to get sick? You didn't choose well when buying. You should choose those with evenly grown branches, lush foliage, and many dense flowers. The lipstick flowers sold outside are usually sold hanging in the air. After buying them home, roll up the drooping branches and leaves and wrap them in newspapers or bags. Otherwise, the drooping branches or flowers will be bruised and damaged, affecting the ornamental effect. Moreover, if there are wounds on the plants, they are easily infected by various diseases and pests.
