Common pests of Aglaonema and their control

Common pests of Aglaonema and their control

Pests of Fagus sylvatica - Red spider

Red spider mites are a common pest of the Aglaonema plant. They mainly suck the sap of the Aglaonema plant. In serious cases, spots will appear on the leaves, which will gradually turn yellow and fall off, affecting the growth of the Aglaonema plant.

If the Aglaonema is infested with red spider mites, it is necessary to promptly remove the dead leaves and fallen leaves and burn them, or you can spray pesticides to kill the red spider mites. It should be noted that red spider mites themselves have strong resistance to pesticides, so when using pesticides, they need to be sprayed in time and changed frequently. Commonly used agents include dichlorvos and omethoate solution.

In addition, natural enemies can also be used for prevention and control.

Pests of Aglaonema ovata - Aphids

Aphids are also a common pest of the Aglaonema plant. Aphids will also suck the juice of the Aglaonema plant, causing the leaves of the Aglaonema plant to shrink and curl, and in severe cases, the leaves will wither or even die. Aphids can sometimes cause sooty mold.

If you find aphids on your hollyhock, if the number is small, you can flush them away when watering. You can also use natural enemies for prevention and control, such as ladybugs.

If the number of aphids is relatively large, you can prepare some safe pesticides yourself, such as tobacco leaf water. You can also use special insecticides, such as spraying a 1000-fold solution of DDT emulsifiable concentrate for treatment.

Pests of Aglaonema rubrum - Red wax scale

The adults and nymphs of the red wax scale often parasitize on the branches and leaves of the Aglaonema plant and suck the sap of the plant. It will cause the plants of Aglaonema to turn black and shrink, or even die, and may also cause soot disease, which is very harmful.

In the early stages of the red wax scale pest, the pests can be eliminated and the infested leaves can be cut off and destroyed. Natural enemies can also be used for prevention and control. If you spray medicine, it will also have a certain effect.
