A bowl of soapy water can kill all the scale insects! No need to buy medicine!

Red Spider

Red spider mites are very small, about the size of a pinhole, nearly round, reddish-brown in color, and not easy to be found. Their main harm is that they cause the leaves of flowers to turn yellow or even fall off.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Ventilate and pay attention to the back of the leaves. Remove any diseased leaves immediately.

2. If there are many diseased leaves, you can spray them with pepper water or tobacco water.

①Boil the red pepper in water and filter it out. Let the boiled pepper water cool down, then add 1 bowl of pepper water to two bottles of water and mix well. When spraying, don't spray too much at one time. Increase the amount gradually and the effect will be better.

②If you have tobacco leaves, you can use tobacco water. The preparation method is similar to chili water, but be careful not to use too much.

③ For chemical control, you can use cypermethrin, trichloronate, dimethoate, chlorpyrifos, and cypermethrin, etc.

powdery mildew

Powdery mildew is a common disease on flowers. Generally, flowers such as roses, chrysanthemums, and impatiens are easily infected, and succulents are also prone to powdery mildew.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Clean the leaves infected with powdery mildew, disinfect them with carbendazim, and then ventilate to avoid a humid environment.

2. You can use white wine to treat powdery mildew:

Dilute 35° white wine with water about 100 times and spray it on the diseased leaves.

Scale insects

Scale insects mainly harm the leaves, branches and fruits of flowers, causing yellowing and withering. Jasmine, camellia and succulents are more susceptible to scale insects.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. First of all, you must remove the diseased branches and leaves and burn them as much as possible to avoid reinfection.

2. Simple family prevention and treatment methods:

① Mix 1 part of white wine with 2 parts of water, and irrigate the soil surface thoroughly. Do this once every 15 days. It will take effect after four consecutive times.

② Dilute vinegar with water 2 to 3 times, dip a cotton swab in the diluted vinegar, and apply it on diseased leaves and branches. You can also use cotton. This can not only kill insects, but also make the leaves green again.

anthrax

Anthracnose mainly affects the leaves of orchids, and sometimes also infects the stems and fruits.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Cut off the parts with diseased spots, ventilate and increase light.

2. Simple family prevention and treatment methods:

①Mix baking soda and water in a ratio of 1:500 and spray it on the flowers.

② Take a piece of ginger and mash it into a paste. Add 20 times the amount of water and soak it for 12 hours. After filtering, use the filtrate to spray the affected plants.

③Mix leek juice and clean water in a ratio of 1:60, and then spray it on the flowers, twice a day, for 15 consecutive days.

④ Mix quicklime powder and clean water in a ratio of 1:60, and spray the upper clarified liquid around the flowers to prevent and control anthracnose.

aphid

Aphids are commonly known as sticky insects or honey insects. They reproduce very quickly and can damage flowers and leaves. They usually hide on the back of leaves.

Aphids should be discovered and treated early. When they begin to appear in small numbers, you can directly remove the pests manually.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Use a cotton swab to remove it or pinch it off with your fingers.

2. Soapy water. Dissolve the soap slices in hot water and mix them evenly with clean water in a ratio of 1:60. After cooling, spray them on the flowers.

3. In serious cases, you can use flower protector, imidacloprid, aphid cleaner, etc. to spray continuously 3-4 times to completely eradicate it.

Whitefly

Whiteflies are tiny insects that can cause leaves to turn green, yellow, wilt, or even die, usually on the underside of the leaves.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Apply fertilizer reasonably and do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer. This can improve the flower's ability to resist whiteflies.

2. You can use garlic water and sulfur powder to prevent whiteflies:

① Take a head of garlic, mash it and add a bottle of water, stir well and filter, spray the leaves with the garlic water once a day, and spray 3 to 4 times in a row. You can also use a brush or toothbrush to apply the garlic liquid to areas where whiteflies are found, and the effect will be immediate!

② Before using sulfur powder, spray the leaf surface with clean water, and then sprinkle sulfur powder on it. Mainly sprinkle it on the places where whiteflies first appeared, and try not to sprinkle it in other places.
