Common pest control methods for Kalanchoe

aphid

Aphids cause serious damage to Kalanchoe, usually occurring in winter and early spring. Once aphids are discovered, they need to be controlled in a timely manner. If left unchecked, the number of aphids will continue to increase and will become a disaster that is out of control.

For the prevention and control of aphids, if the number is small, you can directly wash it with clean water. If the number is large, spray pesticides.

Western Flower Thrips

Western flower thrips rarely appear on Kalanchoe, but it still needs to be taken seriously. Thrips like to attack the soft tissues of the growing points of plants with strong growth, so it is recommended to always have sticky insect boards at home and check the plants every week to avoid large-scale thrips.

Scale insects

It mainly feeds on axillary buds and growing points and causes damage. It is difficult to eradicate it in the greenhouse, and the key lies in prevention. Once scale insects are found on the plants, scrape them off in time to prevent their spread. If the indoor temperature is high, pay attention to ventilation and spray carbendazim powder in time to kill bacteria.

Cyclamen mites

Cyclamen mites do not like warmth, so they rarely cause harm in summer and mainly cause harm in winter. Its main harm is that it causes plant growth deformity and hinders normal growth. Cyclamen mites are very small and difficult to observe directly with the naked eye. They require a 20x microscope to be seen. Therefore, during daily maintenance, you must observe carefully and spray anti-mite agents in time.

Leaf Roller

  Leaf rollers are the larvae of moths, which are encased in leaves in a distinctive pattern. When an insect pest breaks out, if it is not discovered in time, the leaves of the plant will gradually wilt or even die.

Fungus gnat larvae

Drilling holes in the stems of cuttings and seedlings often occurs on diseased plants infected with pine rot fungus and needs to be controlled with an appropriate soil fungicide.
