Of course, scale insects bear the brunt of what meat is most afraid of in summer. The leaf is fine, but Ye Xin, go down and shake your hand, it's over, it's broken. Without a year or two of natural metabolism, such ugly leaves will always exist, as the leaves grow bigger and uglier, this 75% concentration of alcohol is needed.

Action:

Alcohol is this very large bottle. In fact, like many meat friends, I sprayed the shell with alcohol at first, but after careful observation, I found that the effect was not very good. Jack seems to have a protective layer on the surface, some melted after spraying, but some do not crawl about, alcohol can not invade him, and still stay there. Such an incomplete method of killing the shell is not appropriate. And Jack likes to hide in the small gap between the dead leaves and the leaves, which can not be sprayed and permeated. After several years of endless cycle of pot meat, a lot of alcohol has been wasted, and the editor is still very distressed.

Cotton swabs are the most common ones, which can be bought casually in the supermarket.

The first use: kill Jack with alcohol. First we need to find out where Jack likes to hide. Such as the center of leaves, withered leaves, dense leaf gaps, leaf back and so on are their favorite habitats. As long as you find a Jack, the cotton swab is stained with alcohol, lean over, and when the cotton swab goes through, give a little effort to let the alcohol break through Jack's protective layer. The shell of Ye Xin can also be easily solved, and there is no need to worry that Ye Xin will be hurt.

The second use: cleaning up dead leaves. Timely cleaning of dead leaves can be ventilated to prevent black rot, prevent withered leaves from rotting fungi, and prevent hiding Jack. After the withered leaves are cleaned, it is easy to expose the growing point and grow lateral buds, which is good for succulent plants and does no harm to them. For large withered leaves, the hand pulls at the tip of the leaf and falls off. If you hide deeply, you can use tweezers.

First dip some alcohol, water is also OK, check the shell, clean up the dead leaves together, easily use alcohol. As soon as you touch the dead leaves, the leaves are on the cotton swabs, and the dead leaves go down easily.
