Hello everyone, I'm South-South.
Many friends who raise flowers complain: flowers and flowers are raised to grow insects, green leaves become mottled, and you can see the spider silk of knots!! Sometimes crawling on the body will bite people, and it is extremely itchy.
This bug is the red spider
The red spider is the most common insect pest encountered in indoor flowering, it prefers a dry and unventilated environment, there is no control of rain and dew in nature, and it can turn the sky indoors.
But outdoors because of rain and cold, red spiders are not the biggest headache for outdoor flower raising.
How to deal with red spiders indoors
Environmental changes:
Red spiders like dry and hot environments, and increasing air humidity indoors and often using spraying to wash the foliage can effectively avoid the invasion of red spiders.
When scouring the blades, the windows need to be opened to ensure good ventilation. If the windows are not enough, you can turn on the fan to avoid long-term humidity caused by dark spots.
Avoid planting plants that red spiders love:
There are many plants that red spiders like, but after south-south observation: plants with their own villi on the leaves are more popular with red spiders, such as tomatoes, beans, grass flowers;
But the infuriating thing is that as long as it is dry enough, the red spider is not picky, and even the wet-loving arrowroot cannot be avoided.
Treatment of red spiders
There are too many effective ways to control red spiders now, and Nannan recommends several methods that personally feel are effective today:
isolation:
As soon as a red spider is found in a pile of flowers, it is immediately moved to other places to avoid the red spider running around and causing large-scale insect infestation.
Rarely:
When you notice that there are only a few leaves with traces of red spiders, you can use a wet rag to wipe the back of the leaf carefully and remove the infested leaves.
Spray water frequently and maintain a certain humidity; check every three days to observe the state of the leaves, which can usually be controlled.
When more:
When there are more red spiders, first remove the badly damaged leaves and discard them sealed (do not discard them outdoors to bring disease to outdoor plants).
Increase the spacing of plants and maintain some ventilation.
Spraying, balcony words South south recommended now popular [palm oil]. Palm oil is the oil extracted from the palm tree, it is not by poison to kill insects, but by its own stickiness, pests eat palm oil mouth (that is, mouthparts) will be stuck, can not eat and die.
For indoor or friends who do not like pesticides, you can try palm oil.
Spraying is usually sprayed 2 to 3 times a week, and about 4 consecutive sprays can be stabilized.
Detailed usage can be clicked here: it is simply a gospel in the pesticide industry, this pesticide is not only harmless to the human body, the effect is particularly good
Product map, the effect is indeed OK
If you are worried that palm oil will not work well, you can also use pesticides. Common and more effective pesticides are: avermectin, aika mites, golden branches, these three types have a good effect on red spiders.
Description: Nannan found that the main ingredient of in vitro deworming for some pets is also avermectin, if you do not want to buy pesticides, pet deworming drugs can also be tried.
Don't kill by mistake
There is an animal called the big red mite, it is slightly larger than the red spider, the whole body is red, it mainly depends on eating red spiders and red spider eggs for a living, preying on a variety of pest mites, many of the online sell predator mites are actually selling it.
Red is the big red mite
These mites will help you eliminate pests in plants, so don't kill them by mistake.
Indoor flower farming due to the imbalance of the environment, it is easy to break out some diseases and insect pests, but as long as you choose the right plants according to your own environment, and pay more attention to their growth status, even a small balcony can become a small garden.
