Ten years without red spider mites or aphids on roses: Uncle Feng's casual action is admirable
The rose is one of China's top ten famous flowers, and is also known as the queen of flowers. It has thousands of varieties, with bright and rich colors that are very eye-catching and highly ornamental, making it a very popular flowering plant.
Although roses are beautiful, their branches and leaves are the easiest to attract pests, especially red spider mites and aphids, which always take turns attacking and make people very frustrated.
The roses grown at Uncle Wang's home have not had red spider mites or aphids for ten years, all because of his casual actions, which is truly admirable。
Outdoor flowers and plants rarely get sick. For one thing, they are constantly washed by rainwater, and for another, good air circulation makes it hard for pests to breed. So the potted roses at Uncle Wang's home are always placed in the spot with the best ventilation. During the hot and stuffy summer when air circulation is poor, he also prepares an electric fan to blow on the roses.
And when it rains, he also moves the roses outdoors, so they are nourished by the rainwater. This not only supplements nutrients and makes the soil acidic, but also improves the overall resistance of the plant, making it less prone to disease and reducing the occurrence of pests. So the roses grown by Uncle Wang are not bothered by red spider mites and aphids, and they bloom vigorously.
If the roses at home unfortunately get red spider mites and aphids, what should you do? Here is a little method that causes no pollution and works very well.
First, isolate the roses from other flowers that have no pests, otherwise the healthy potted plants will also be infected, and then it will be very difficult to control.
If there are relatively few red spider mites and aphids, you can first wipe them off with a paper towel and manually kill the aphids and red spider mites. After that, take the plant to the bathroom and spray and rinse the leaves, which can kill the vast majority of red spider mites and aphids without polluting the environment.
At the same time, you can also turn the pot upside down and let the branches and leaves soak in water. This way the pests will die from lack of oxygen and suffocation, and it can also kill the eggs, preventing the pests from continuing to reproduce and gnaw on the tender leaves.
