Common pests of creeping grass: scale insectsPest symptomsScale insects attach to the surface of the leaves of the creeping sedge, and their secretions contaminate the leaves, even causing serious consequences such as leaf withering. Causes of scale insect occurrence: untimely disinfection and breeding of insect eggs. Prevention and treatment methodsSpray the pesticide in time during the nymph stage. You can use 1000 times diluted 40% oxydemeton-methyl, spray once every 8 days, for 2 to 3 times in a row. Mixing white wine with water can also effectively kill scale insects without damaging the small leaves of the creeping grass. It will be even more convenient for flower lovers who have rice vinegar at home. Soak a cotton ball in rice vinegar and gently rub the affected leaves. This can kill the scale insects and make the leaves green and shiny again. Common pests of creeping grass: aphidsPest symptomsAphids often attach themselves to the junction of leaves and branches, densely packed and very disgusting. If a healthy plant is covered with insects, the growth and ornamental effect of the leaves will be affected. Prevention and treatment methodsWashing powder has a contact killing effect on aphids. Use a brush dipped in a 1:500 ratio solution of washing powder and water to scrub the aphids on the branches and leaves of flowers. You can also use a small sprayer to spray it, which can also effectively scrub off the honeydew secreted by aphids. Common pests of creeping grass: butterfly eggsPest symptomsFlower lovers often hang creeping grasses on the balcony, so that butterflies and other insects will fly over and lay eggs on the leaves. After the eggs hatch, they turn into small black and white insects that gnaw on the leaves and even drill into the branches, damaging the plants and possibly even breaking the branches. Prevention and treatment methodsBuy the flower protector and spray it to kill. If the branches are severely damaged, they can be cut off and used for cutting maintenance. Pull out the plant, disinfect it, and then repot it. |
