You can buy a specialized insecticide for plants on the market and spray it on the front and back of the leaves and on the branches, spraying 3-4 times in a row over 3-4 weeks to remove the pests on it. Generally, when kept at home, ventilation is not very good, so pests and diseases occur very frequently; spray it with water often to maintain humidity and apply insecticide once a month.
