How are these common flower pests eradicated?

Flower pest control is a big topic, and it is introduced on all kinds of flower culture materials. In this article, I will briefly introduce several more effective pest control methods that I have used in my flower cultivation practice.

Mesozoans: Mesozoites are susceptible to poor ventilation, and there are many species of them. Commonly found in flowers, mesozoans are characterized by the appearance of small clumps of white hairs like cotton, followed by oval insects with needle tips to the size of rice grains. This type of mesozoan is a stinging pest, and there is a layer of wax on the surface of the body, which can isolate the liquid, so the general gastric poison insecticide is ineffective against it. The drug to kill mesenchymal insects I use is the plant insecticidal king, which can be bought in the large flower market, it has low toxicity and is safer to use. Spray once a week, two to three times a week. Mesozoites are very easy to recur, so the insect body and white hairs should be removed, especially the mesozoites hidden in the folds and crevices of the leaves, which can be removed with brushes, probes and other tools. For a small number of mesenchymal worms, another method is to use a lighter, quickly burn with fire. The white hairs of the shell worm are as flammable as willow wool and can be burned off with a sweep of flames. I've used a lighter to kill the baby coconut-grown mesozoites, and it worked well. This method should pay attention to two points, one is that the time of fire roasting must be fast, and the blade will be burned if it is slightly longer. This method is only suitable for a small number of raw insects, and if the insect infestation is severe, it is still necessary to spray the drug. Second, minors should not try, so as not to cause fires due to improper use.

Red Spiders/Aphids/Whitefly: These pests are extremely harmful to flowers, but common pesticides can kill them. You can also cover the flowers with a large container and smoke them with mosquito coils. But no matter what method is used, it must be killed thoroughly, otherwise it is very easy to recur. Spray the drug two to three times. Usually pay attention to ventilation.

"Little Black Fly": This is a small black worm that can fly, and it is very small. Most of these pests are caused by the fertilizer in the soil not completely decomposing, or the mold caused by the dumping of debris such as tea residue into the pot. A very effective way to deal with such pests is to use a large handful of cigarette butts to soak in water, soak in a day, soak the water into soy sauce color, and then filter out the tobacco residue, dilute it with water, and then water it into a pot, water it thoroughly, and water it two or three times. Of course, the moldy things in the pots have to be cleaned up first.

Earthworm: Earthworms are beneficial insects in farmland, but in pots, earthworms can cause a large number of cracks in the pot soil, and will also eat the limited humus and nutrients in the pot soil, adversely affecting plant growth. Earthworms can be found and can be manually removed during pot change or the potting soil can be watered with a 500-fold dilution of bromoperide.
