Grow succulents this way to easily get rid of pests and still get a bursting pot
Succulents are deeply loved by everyone for their cute and adorable appearance. But once you fall into the succulent rabbit hole, when growing succulents, you will always be plagued by all kinds of pests, especially in the hot summer when it is particularly serious. So below we will introduce to you how to get rid of pests on succulents.
Alcohol
If you just find a small number of pests on your succulents, we can use alcohol with a concentration of 75% to wipe the leaves with pests, which can kill the pests, because alcohol can evaporate the water inside the pests' bodies, causing the pests to die.
Tweezers
When growing succulents, the most common pest is the scale insect. They attach to the leaves of succulents and suck their sap, causing the leaves to dry out and fall off. So when growing them we must pay attention and observe. Once you find white pests, use tweezers to crush them, and then spray a little pesticide.
Soaking the pot
If you find that they have already been infested by pests, you can put the whole succulent into water, making sure the water covers the flower pot. Soaking it like this for about 10 minutes can kill all the pests, then take it out and place it in a cool, ventilated environment.
Replace the surface soil
If you find that there are many small insect eggs on the succulents, you can replace the soil on the surface of the pot with soil that has already been disinfected. This will remove most of the pests. Then we sprinkle a layer of lime on the soil that has already been replaced, and the pests can be completely killed.
Pesticides
If there are too many pests, you should cut off the stems and leaves with pests, and then spray some insecticide, and the pests can be killed. But after spraying the succulents with pesticide, you should place them in a place with plenty of sunlight to sun them for a few days, and when spraying the pesticide, never spray it onto other plants. It is best to take it outside and spray it separately.
