Pilea pests: control methods

The larvae of the beetle usually live in the soil, so the soil should be disinfected throughout the year before planting. If you find a larva, you must remove it immediately because once it starts to multiply, it will be difficult to eliminate it.

When there are too many beetles, you can use pesticides to treat them. Remember to choose insecticides as much as possible, and don’t choose pure pesticides. Although the insecticidal effect is better, it will have a certain impact on the subsequent growth of the flowers. After spraying the pesticide, water the roots to prevent any insect eggs from remaining in the soil.
