Once attacked by scale insects, the leaves will turn yellow, the branches will wither, the plants will decline, and it is easy to induce sooty mold disease. Scale insects have strong reproductive capacity, and the peak season for pests is the high temperature season in summer. They like hot and humid environments and often attach themselves to leaves. In the process of crawling, they destroy the tender green leaves of the axe-leaf peperomia and produce patches of gray lesions.
