What to do when gardenia gets scale insects? A few prevention and control methods for you

1. Pest introduction

It mainly harms branches and leaves, and can cause the leaves to turn yellow and withered. It can also trigger other diseases and make the plant weak. After April, it occurs more frequently.

2. Manual method

This is for the situation where there are relatively few insects. In this case, there is no need to use medication. Specifically, you can use a brush to brush off all the insects. Then, cut off all the branches that have had insects on them, and dispose of the diseased leaves as well. Do not throw them around; gather them and dispose of them properly. However, if the number is really too large, then you can only use medication.

3. Medication methods

(1) Baijiu: Mix baijiu with water, at a ratio of about one to two. Then, pour it onto the surface of the soil and water it thoroughly. Do this about once every two weeks, and four times in a row is enough.

(2) Rice vinegar: Take about fifty milliliters of vinegar, dip a cotton ball into it, and use it to wipe the branches and leaves that have insects on them. In this way, the insects can be eliminated. Doing this can effectively kill the insects, and can also make the plant's leaves appear more glossy, and it will not cause any harm. Therefore, we relatively recommend this method.

(3) Alcohol: Just like the previous method, it is also used to wipe the plant. This is also relatively thorough, and can also remove some pests and pathogens that we cannot see with our eyes.

(4) Mixture: Mix diesel, laundry detergent and water, at ten to zero point six to zero point six. Then, dilute it with water, and it can be sprayed. After a week, the insects will become shriveled and die.
