Succulent maintenance has a headache when it comes to insect pests. It is very important to do a good job of prevention with tips for killing insects.

In the process of succulent maintenance, the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests is mainly based on prevention.

First of all, the environment should be clean and tidy. Exotic plants must be strictly checked, and only when there are no diseases and insect pests can they be put into the planting space such as shed or balcony.

Pink scale likes to feed on the youngest parts of the plant, so you always find them near the growing points and buds.

Occasionally found on the stem, because they are drilling out of the soil, but also climbing at the speed of turtles, really slower than snails. There are really some worms who are too lazy to crawl and have no high ambition, so they lie down in the soil and suck the juice from the roots of the plants.

In general, if you peel open the soil and find white powder or white floc, it is secreted by pink scale, in which you can find translucent larvae or eggs.

The diameter of the egg is very small and can be observed with a magnifying glass. Another thing that should not be taken lightly is that many adults tend to lie on the back of the leaves and the angles between the petioles and other parts that are not easy to detect, and you can't just check the growing points when checking the ground.

The damaged plants will grow weak, slow or stop, lose water and dry up. It can also cause buds and leaves to fall off. In severe cases, the plants will die in pieces.

Many flower friends often ignore this point, or do not take it seriously, that is, the high temperature disinfection of flower utensils and flower soil, which is definitely the best defense.

The flower soil bought from the flower market, no matter how much the boss boasts that the flower soil is clean and sanitary is imported, you have to be sterilized at high temperature when you buy it back, which lays a solid foundation.

The first effect of high temperature is to destroy bacteria, and the second most important function is to destroy eggs.

In fact, the elimination of bacteria is only a temporary eradication, because in the later stage, as long as the temperature and humidity are appropriate, there will still be a large number of bacteria in the flowerpot, because bacteria are all-pervasive.

But the elimination of eggs is strategic! It is not ruled out that eggs that are difficult to find with the naked eye occasionally spread or spread with the wind on objects such as floral organs, but that is dwarfed by the number of eggs in the flower soil.

Here are some small ways to kill insects!

1. Imidacloprid (imidacloprid), cheap and easy to use, can also be sprayed to fill the root, adults, eggs can be killed, hit the drug shell for three times and became extinct.

2.DX small white medicine, internal inhalation, can be buried in the soil, the insecticidal effect is obvious to all, but the smell of rotten cabbage is very strong.

3. Carbofuran, commonly known as American purple medicine, has a good effect, but it is very toxic.

4. Soak 30 cigarette butts with 500 grams of water for a day and night, filter and add a little soap liquid, spray to the affected area, once a day, 3-5 times, can kill aphids and shell nymphs.

5. Diluting 600 to 800 times with essential oil and spraying the diluent on diseased plants several times can kill aphids, red spiders and whitefly.
