Pests of air plants and their control methods

Pests of air plants and their control methods

Air pineapple pests - scale insects

Scale insects are often caused by poor ventilation, humid air and other factors. The larvae mainly live on the back of leaves, sucking the plant's body fluids. At the same time, they also inject digestive fluid into the affected plants, making it difficult for the wounds of the affected plants to heal. These pests secrete excrement high in sugar, which attracts ants and can easily cause secondary infection, namely sooty disease.

When there are fewer insects, you can use a cotton ball dipped in vinegar or alcohol to wipe it, or soak the plant directly in water. If there are too many, you can use special killing drugs.

Air Plant Pests - Snails and Slugs

These pests are easy to spot because they leave a bright, clear mucus wherever they crawl, and they damage plants, especially new leaves, with their licking-sucking mouthparts. However, it rarely occurs in family farming. Once it occurs, all should be killed.

Air plant pests - red spider

Red spider mites are bad creatures. They mainly breathe on the leaves of air plants, absorbing the plant's moisture and causing it to become dehydrated and shriveled. Usually occurs during times of high temperature and drought.

Red spider mites are not difficult to find on leaves. Once found, they can be washed off with clean water. In addition, increasing the humidity appropriately in normal times can avoid the appearance of red spider mites.
