It's sad if you don't prevent insects in spring and summer.

This sentence is often mentioned, when all things recover, we will see flowers and plants sprouting one after another. It is also a good time for succulent growth.

But

People will also ignore a problem. Succulent diseases and insects have also started their activities for a year.

The most common form of meaty meat is called pink scale insects, and experienced succulent veterans have experienced the power of scale insects.

My buddies may be thinking about how there are bugs when I raise them well. In fact, scale insects are already so common that everyone who raises succulent plants will experience them. The eggs are invisible to the naked eye, maybe they are in the soil of your flowerpot or on the roots of the plant, but you just can't see them.

If we don't pay attention to pest control now, I believe many beginners will be at a loss when the scale bug breaks out in summer.

The three most common insects in raising succulent plants

Shell worm

Aphids

Root powder beetle

one

Scale insect

Scale insects are the biggest natural enemies of succulent plants. The reason why scale insects are difficult to cure is that they reproduce quickly, secrete wax on their body surface and carry shields (scale shells) with them. Drugs with special effects on scale insects are often EC-type. While permeating the wax of scale insects, it will also corrode the leaf surface of succulent plants, causing drug damage. In addition to killing insects in seconds, the mucus they leave behind is also very deadly and can easily cause diseases such as "bituminous coal disease". So be sure to wash it with clean water, and don't think about what powder will not drop at this time.

Common method: use Huasheng to kill insects and rinse off dirty stains with spray cans.

two

Aphids

The most disgusting thing about this kind of bug is that adults can fly! It can fly! However, in general, they do not take the initiative to choose succulent plants, but aphids are often found on fleshy flower arrows, presumably because of nectar. When gnawing meat, it will also scatter some liquid similar to oil stains, especially sticky hands, together with all kinds of stains on the leaves, not easy to clean up.

It is easy to find them, just pay more attention to the flowers and arrows, those which are black or green are generally aphids.

Common method: cut the arrows directly and throw them away, and then use cotton swabs to clean the leaves with water.

three

Root powder beetle

It's very hard to clean up. The most troublesome thing is that they have been hiding in the soil, it is extremely difficult to find, unless the insects have been flooded, will climb out or flow out of the outlet of the flowerpot. Although it is very small, it will slowly crawl into other flowerpots.

This kind of bug is difficult to find, but you can pay more attention to the ground, if you find a small white spot on the ground, you should pay attention to it. Maybe all the flowerpots in your family are infected with root powder at this time.

Treatment: because the goods are really too small, and all appear in groups, so either use poison, or thoroughly change the soil, clean plants.

The proportion of the flower god used to protect the insect can be slightly lighter, and the proportion of the flower god used for killing insects can be a little heavier.

The meat should not be exposed to the sun after the medication, but should be placed in a semi-shaded place and return to normal care the next day.

In fact, this is already the most convenient way, and according to different circumstances to use alcohol, avermectin and so on. But basically, they only use the god of protecting flowers to prevent insects, and I think the effect is already very good.

If you find bugs, you can use Huasheng to mix water with 1000 milliliters, which is exactly twice that of 500ml cola bottles. The diluted flower protector can be sprayed directly on the succulent plant, and the insects that can be killed are: shell insects, small black flies, aphids, red spiders, and butterfly larvae (smaller, newly hatched). Please wear rubber gloves ~ after all, he is also a pesticide ~ stay away from children and pregnant women!

For any kind of bug, we should treat it correctly, and there is no need to be too nervous or afraid, because insects and flowers are symbiotic.
