You can also add 1 kg of water to 40 grams of tobacco, filter the original solution after soaking for 48 hours, dilute it with 1 kg of water, add 2 grams of washing powder or a little soap, stir well and spray the plant. Using physical methods, you can use cardboard or plastic board coated with yellow and glue to trap and kill aphids, or use silver tin foil to reflect light to drive away aphids.

Jasmine beware of red spiders

Red spider is Obovate, the back and abdomen are flat, there are red, dark red, orange red and so on. Orchids, jasmine and kumquat are easy to recruit red spiders. It is often hidden on the back of the leaves and buds of flowers, causing the leaves to lose green and wither, the buds to wither, and in severe cases, the plants will wither and die. In general, insect pests are more serious from June to July.

Countermeasures: soak the orange peel with 10 times water for one day and night, filter and spray the plant once every day for 3 consecutive days. In addition, a plate of mosquito-repellent incense can be lit and placed in a flowerpot, and then tied tightly with a plastic bag. After 1 hour of smoking, both eggs and adults can be killed. This is a good way to save money and get quick results.

The rose is far away from the yellow snail moth.

The head of the larva is yellowish brown, the chest is yellowish green, and there is a pair of thorns on each side of the dorsal line. More common in camellias, bauhinia, rose, West House Begonia, and so on, often eat up the leaves of flowers.

Countermeasures: yellow thorn moth likes light, has a strong phototaxis, and can be trapped and killed by a lamp next to the flower.

In addition, brown and pointed insects of plants such as anthurium and cyclamen are often "attacked", as well as mosquito-like mosquitoes and flies that love to grow in poinsettias and pansy, which can be sprayed with garlic juice, pepper water and pepper water at the initial stage.

Flower pruning is necessary, so help you reduce the burden of flowers and plants in hot summer.

Every hot season, I want to cut off my thick hair to keep it cool. Sometimes, flowers and plants with a variety of branches and leaves will also make them "uncomfortable". Some plants do not grow very well, especially when they are not well raised and become half-dead, as well as when they are badly hurt by diseases and insect pests. It is necessary to prune them properly. Today, the editor is here to tell you how to trim some common flowers.

Hanging orchid

The hanging orchids in some friends' homes are too luxuriant, and the leaves hang too long and need pruning. When pruning, cut off the outer withered branches and yellow leaves, and cut off the scorched parts on the tip of the leaves. In order to make the vertical leaves of the orchid more natural, do not cut flat to oblique cut, it is best to cut one knife on each side. Usually see the part of yellow leaves can be trimmed at any time, turn the basin once a year in March, cut off the old root, rotten root and excess fibrous root.

Green pineapple

The hanging green apple has no brown column, and the pruning is based on the pot soil. Generally, the branches and leaves 20 centimeters away from the basin soil will be cut off, and after the new leaves of the same length are grown, the old leaves at the bottom will be cut off. To prune, make sure that all the branches and leaves are updated. Potted green apples usually have brown columns again, and when the stems of green apples are covered with brown columns and grow more than 20 centimeters, they should be trimmed. When pruning, you should pay attention to cut half of the green radish stems and leaves in half, cut off about 40 centimeters of the green radish stems and leaves, and then cut the other half after this part grows new leaves.

Make a fortune tree

If the branches and leaves of a rich tree turn yellow and wither, but the root system is still intact, it can also be pruned to regenerate it. Cut off all the branches of the rich tree with scissors, leaving appropriate nodes on the branches to promote the re-growth of the plant.

Asparagus asparagus

The growth rate of asparagus is very fast. In order to make the whole plant grow well and have a beautiful appearance, it is also necessary to cut off the overdense, withered yellow branches and delicate stems to facilitate ventilation and light transmission, promote growth and facilitate ornamental. When the seedlings are raised from childhood, the tender green branches grow to a certain height, the top can be removed, the plant is short and strong, and branches are promoted. When the adult asparagus enters the growing period, the growth of the top leaves of the branches is not ideal because of the different conservation environment. When the top leaves are missing, the main branches can be truncated. Pay attention to the lateral buds on the branches and don't cut them off at will.
