The World Cup is the succulent part of the world. It's ours.

On the weekend of April, I went to the flower market on a hot day. Shopping in the flower market is like shopping, and it is impossible to go home empty-handed. In addition to the flowers that must be bought every time, I also brought several pots of succulent plants home.

Those who dare to buy succulent plants in summer are all warriors. The succulent plants just bought in April come with uninvited guests-scale insects.

Last time, when I told everyone about the problem of succulent black rot and dissolving water, many friends said that the meat of their families was being attacked by scale insects, resulting in heavy casualties.

Today, April will help you treat the arrogant scale insects. After reading this article, I hope the mud-cute meat can get rid of the abominable "Jack" ~

Meat vs insect

Since raising succulent plants, this salted fish has had a dream in April. Dream of having a terrace so that my flesh can bask in the sun; dream of having a courtyard to grow into a succulent garden.

Pick up a basket of succulent plants and visit friends far away.

Succulent is the nearest scenery from us, no matter how tired the body and mind see lovely flesh, can be cured. But succulent plants are not easy to raise, especially in summer, when all the dreams of meat farmers become one: live well.

The hot and humid environment in summer is not only not conducive to the growth of succulent plants, but also the high incidence period of scale insects. Senior meat powder is no stranger to scale insects, but for beginners, it can never be tolerated.

So, what exactly are scale insects, why succulent plants grow scale insects, and how can we solve the trouble of scale insects at one time?

If you haven't encountered scale insects, it's not enough to talk about raising meat.

When it comes to scale insects, every meat powder has a belly to say. Met it for the first time, such as the white sesame seeds glued to the leaves, did not attract attention, did not expect that a small lethal force is very great.

Ps: in order to avoid the discomfort caused by scale insects, put the picture of disease only once.

Many people don't understand why they still grow scale bugs when they have already been sterilized. In fact, 90% of scale insects already exist when they buy succulent insects, when they are just a small egg hidden in the root or soil, less than 1 mm, which is difficult to detect by the naked eye. When the scale insects fully hatch after two or three months, there will be a full outbreak of scale insects.

Scale insects like a hidden environment, and their succulent, thick leaves have plenty of juice, which is the source of their food. The succulent plants attacked by scale insects will gradually underdevelop, and there will be yellowing of leaves, early defoliation and other phenomena, and the meat attacked by a large number of scale insects will even slowly wither until death.

Although scale insects are very annoying, there are still many ways to eliminate them. Here are some simple, convenient and efficient methods for your reference.

Manual cleaning

We all know that scale insects are brought when buying meat. In order to prevent problems, it is necessary to change the soil in time, but there are very few eggs in the soil purchased in packages.

A small number of scale insects imagine themselves as Mammy, using sharp tools such as needles and toothpicks to pick them out and kill them one by one. This method is suitable for emergencies. It can only remove bugs from the succulent surface, but not completely.

If you think this method is too cruel to do it, you can wash away the bugs by spraying water. As long as the current is big enough, you can wash it clean.

Alcohol clearance

Using alcohol to remove scale insects is the most commonly used method in meat powder, and the concentration of alcohol needs to be controlled at about 75%. As soon as alcohol meets scale insects, it absorbs the water of bacterial protein, which makes the scale insects dehydrated, denatured and solidified, so as to achieve the effect of killing bacteria and killing insects.

There are two ways for alcohol to remove scale insects. Use a small brush to brush the alcohol in the place where the meat is affected, or spray it directly. Be sure to put it in a cool and ventilated place after spraying.

75% of the concentration is fastidious, too low has no effect on scale insects, too high will form a protective film, scale insects are not afraid.

Smear vinegar

Vinegar has a good effect on sterilization and disinfection, and it also has a good effect on the removal of scale insects.

Use vinegar to kill insects, without mixing water, soak them with cotton swabs or small cotton balls directly, apply them on diseased succulent plants, and wipe them gently to kill scale insects. This method is not only safe and convenient, but also can rejuvenate the leaves eroded by scale insects.

Spray garlic water

Garlic has a strong spicy taste, at the same time can sterilize and disinfect, for the control of scale insects, garlic also has a powerful effect.

First of all, the garlic needs to be shelled and mashed, and a mashed garlic needs to be diluted with a kilogram of water. After soaking for a period of time, until the garlic water is clarified, and then directly sprayed on the succulent plant, once every three or four days, normally, scale insects can be killed in two weeks.

This method can kill many kinds of pests and inhibit the reproduction of bacteria at the same time.

Mosquito repellent incense

Mosquito-repellent incense is a common thing at home in summer. It can kill not only mosquitoes but also scale insects. Break the mosquito-repellent incense into pieces, insert it on the edge of the flowerpot and light it, then buckle a bucket upside down and let it get bored. When you open it in an hour, you can find that the scale insects have brushed off the ground.

This method works very well, but it also has limitations, and it doesn't have much effect on eggs. In addition, the mosquito incense ash dropped in the basin does not need to be cleaned. Mosquito incense ash itself is a good fertilizer.

Biological control

At any time, the best way for plants to control is to form a small ecological cycle and let organisms solve the problem on their own.

Scale insects are succulent natural enemies, so scale insects must also have natural enemies. The natural enemies of scale beetles are the seven-star ladybugs we used to see when we were young.

If one or two seven-star ladybugs can be found, the meat will not have to worry about being harassed by scale bugs. Go to the wild or the park to look for seven-star ladybugs. As long as you encounter them, they are easy to catch.

Spray medicine

For beginners, the easiest and most violent way to encounter scale insects is to buy medicine. Of course, the first choice for scale insects is "flower protection god". This medicine is cheap and easy to use, and can be sprayed after mixing water according to the instructions. In addition, such as scale must be treated, Guoguang scale must be treated also has a good reputation.

It should be noted that plants that have just been sprayed must not be moved to the outdoor sun directly. As soon as the drug concentration becomes higher in the sun, although scale insects are killed, succulent plants are also burned to death.

When many people find scale insects, they will use germicidal and disinfectant agents such as potassium permanganate or carbendazim. In fact, these agents have little effect on scale insects, because their main function is sterilization and disinfection, which can not kill insects and eggs.

When spraying, we should pay attention to protective measures, especially if there are old people and children at home, do not let them come into contact with the medicine.

Get to these methods, even if encountered scale insect outbreak will not be square.

Raising meat requires a strong heart, which is a process of fighting against the weather, diseases and insect pests, although it will be lost, but it is also a fun process of exploration. April is like this. Watching your meat get fatter and fatter, you can't help but smile like an old aunt.

The master is among the people.

April is just to throw a brick to attract jade.
