The most dangerous species are palm, ivy, fern, brown, soft and hemispherical false-ticks. There is even a quarantine Californian scab.
What are the danger of scabbards and falsities?
The pest affects all parts of the plant,located above the soil. These are trunks, petioles, twigs and leaves. Larvae and females feed on plant juice. This leads to the curvature of the stems, yellowing and drying of the leaves. The plant withers and dies with a large pile of pests. Lozhnoshchitovka also gives off abundant sugary feces on which the sooty fungus settles.
How to deal with pests?
Combating them is very difficult. The pest from the top is protected by a "shield", which protects it from the external effects of any insecticidal treatments. I have to do this many times. But not the fact that this will bring guaranteed success. In addition, "chemical" in the house is harmful.
Control measures
If there are few pests, you can periodically clean it with a soft brush, wash the plants with a soap solution. This procedure must be carried out repeatedly.
Pests do not tolerate sunlight. It is possible to place damaged plants in a lighted place, while watering should be moderate. Between plants should not be crowded. Providing good ventilation and more light will deter pest reproduction.
Of the chemical drugs will be effective"Aktellik", "Aktara", "Confidor". You can shed the soil in pots in the affected plants. In this case, strictly follow the instructions and processing should be carried out in a non-residential space, for example, on a balcony. So, the action of the "Aktara" solution when watering the soil is as follows. Insecticide through the roots penetrates into the plant and moves with juice, penetrating the trunk, petioles and leaves. What makes some time toxic is the whole plant. The pest feeds on "poisoned juice" and perishes.
Prevention
Pests enter the house together with new onesplants. Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious about newcomers and to examine them for settling "uninvited guests". New plants should be placed for a while in quarantine, away from other flowers.
