These two kinds of orchid worms have made many orchid farmers very upset about their habit of stealing food at night. The buds and new roots that plants can be proud of, as well as the expected buds and roots, are found to be chewed the next morning.

Slugs and snails are a particularly headache pest for those who raise orchids outdoors and in greenhouses.

These obnoxious creatures hide in dark places during the day, in damp places in greenhouses (especially where there are plants around them), under flowerpots (especially when they are placed directly on the ground), and even in culture materials in pots. They climb out at night and climb up to the seedlings to chew (actually gnaw on) delicate root tips, buds and flowers. The white trail of its crawl reveals the evil deeds of these trespassers, and the method of hunting can use the peeled skin of apples as bait, or use beer to seduce them to death. However, the more common method is to buy pesticides such as polyacetaldehyde and Bug-Geta in pesticide shops or florists when the climate is warm. After buying, it is usually scattered around the planting area, up and down the flower bed, and placed on the top of the culture medium in the box, on the edge of the pot, not on the root system, because the root system of the plant is very sensitive to it.

Using the withered flowers placed in or near the pot, and the flower bed down to lure, shining with a flashlight at night, or before the sun shows its eyelids in the morning, you can find many small snails crawling on the withered flowers, and then kill them.
