Latest Pest and Disease Control Methods for Dendrobium aphyllum

1. Snails

These insects mainly hide secretly on the back of leaves, and basically rely on eating leaves or biting the stems to damage the petals. The most troublesome thing is that they occur many times within a year, and once they occur, the damage is especially great. Basically one night is enough to eat the entire plant clean, so timely control must be carried out.

Control methods: We can find some bait, mix a little poison into it, and place it in the places where they often appear, and then we can successfully eliminate them. Alternatively, we can spray some pesticide on the cultivation soil or the surrounding environment, and we can also use some quicklime and salt water, which can also control them very well. In addition, it is best to pay attention to the hygiene of the cultivation area at ordinary times. Leaves that have already withered must be cleaned up in time.

2. Pinnaspis ficus

These insects generally parasitize on the edges of the plant's leaves or on the back of the leaves, mainly to suck the plant's sap to survive, which will cause the leaves of the entire plant to begin to dry up, and in severe cases will directly cause the plant to die. At the same time, they may also cause some other diseases.

Control methods: This pest generally has its peak development period in May. At this time, we can mix and use a little pesticide for spraying, which will have a relatively better effect. If the insects have already formed and the quantity is not large, the old branches and leaves can be cut off, and then burned together in a concentrated way.
