How to prevent and control small flying insects on plants? Sharing practical methods

When the weather starts to warm up, small flying insects appear in the potting soil of many flower growers, and completely eliminating these small flying insects takes a very long process, and many flower growers have shared their relevant experience. What I will introduce to you is how to prevent these small flying insects from appearing, and eliminate them at the source.

Rose (detailed introduction)

1. When planting flowers and plants, the soil has not been disinfected and sterilized. Generally, soil contains insect eggs. Before planting flowers and plants, you should sun-dry the soil and add insecticide.

2. Due to the soil type, generally speaking, peat soil is more prone to insect pests than piled soil, because piled soil is decomposed soil and has a lower chance of insect pests.

3. It is related to the types of flowers and plants being grown and the care environment.

Reasons for small flying insects appearing in flower pots. Teaching you to remove small flying insects from flower pots

Friends with experience in growing flowers have all encountered this problem: there are small flying insects in the flower pots at home, flying all over the house. Although these flying insects do not bite people, flying around everywhere and spreading germs also has a big impact on health. Below I will introduce to everyone how to solve the problem of small flying insects in flower pots at home. You can take a look too.

[What to do if there are small flying insects in the flower pot]

(1) When small flying insects appear in the flower pot, you can use three or four cotton swabs dipped in dichlorvos, just enough that it does not drip, then insert the handle ends into the potting soil around the plant, and the flying insects can be eliminated.

(2) Washing powder: Dissolve one tablespoon of washing powder in 4 liters of water, and spray the flower leaves every two weeks, which can completely eliminate whiteflies and bacteria.

(3) Milk: Mix 4 cups of flour and half a cup of milk into 20 liters of water, stir, filter with gauze, and spray on the flower leaves, which can kill mites and their eggs.

(4) Beer: Pour beer into a shallow dish placed under the flower pot soil, and snails will drown when they crawl in.

(5) Garlic: Mash one garlic bulb, mix it with one tablespoon of pepper into half a liter of water, and after one hour, spray it on the flower leaves, which can prevent mouse invasion.

(6) When ants appear in the flower pot, soak cigarette butts and cut tobacco in hot water for one or two days. When the water turns dark brown, sprinkle part of the water on the flower stems and leaves, and after diluting the rest, pour it into the flower pot, and the ants can be eliminated.

I. Folk tips for eliminating small flying insects

1. Using a ratio of 5 grams of cigarette butts mixed with 70 to 80 grams of water, soak for 24 hours, rub slightly, filter out the residue with gauze, then use the water to water the flowers, and the small flying insects will soon be removed. Generally speaking, about ten cigarette butts configured with one mineral water bottle of water is enough.

2. Use 1:200 washing powder water (soap liquid water). To improve the effect, add a few drops of rapeseed oil, stir thoroughly, and spray with a sprayer when no oil slicks are visible on the surface.

3. You can also soak fresh orange peel in water and pour it into the flower pot (soak and use on the same day), and after a few days the small flying insects will be gone.

4. Soaking Sichuan pepper in water and watering the flowers can also remove pests.

II. Chemical methods for preventing and controlling small flying insects

Chemical agents are either pesticides or insecticides. They are generally sold on the market, but at the same time they are also harmful to people, and insects may also develop resistance. Unless there is a major outbreak of insects, repeated use is not recommended. (Chemical agents are harmful to the human body, so try making your own pesticide for pest control on flowers.)

III. Use the chemical tropism of insects and use sugar-vinegar liquid to trap and kill them.

The specific method is: add sugar-vinegar liquid to a small basin, spray a little insecticide into it, and place it next to the plant. After about half an hour, many small insect corpses will be found. However, this method is not easy to "wipe out" the small flying insects completely.

If none of the above methods work, then prune the plants that attract the insects, and the branches must be discarded or destroyed. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to cut off the source of the insects.

IV. The possibility of this small insect appearing must be cut off at the source.

Generally, the appearance of small flying insects occurs because of the application of animal-based fertilizers such as milk water and eggshells, and occurs when the potting soil is moist. Therefore, usually try not to use fertilizers that have not been fully decomposed.

[Six methods for watering flowers when growing flowers at home]

(1) Watering flowers with leftover tea: Using leftover tea to water flowers can not only maintain soil moisture but also add nutrients such as nitrogen to the plants. However, watering should be done regularly and in measured amounts according to the humidity of the flower pot, and you should not just pour leftover tea and water immediately.

(2) Watering flowers with spoiled milk: After milk spoils, add water and use it to water flowers, which is beneficial to the growth of the flowers. However, there should be more water so that it is relatively diluted. Unfermented milk is not suitable for watering flowers, because when it ferments it produces a large amount of heat, which will "burn" the roots (root rot).

(3) Watering flowers with cooled boiled water: Using cooled boiled water to water flowers can make the foliage lush and the flowers bright, and can promote earlier blooming. If used to water asparagus fern, it can make its branches and leaves develop horizontally, growing short and dense.

(4) Watering flowers with warm water: In winter, when the weather is cold and the water is chilly, it is suitable to water flowers with warm water. It is best to place the water indoors and wait until it is close to room temperature before watering. If the water temperature can reach 35°C before watering, that is even better.

(5) Watering flowers with rice washing water: Regularly using rice washing water to water flowers such as Aglaia odorata can make their branches and leaves luxuriant and their flower colors vivid.

(6) Watering flowers when no one is at home: People who love growing flowers, if they are away from home for ten days to half a month because of visiting relatives or going out to handle matters, have no one to water the flowers. At this time, you can fill a plastic bag with water, pierce a small hole in the bottom of the bag with a needle, and place it in the flower pot with the small hole against the soil, and the water will slowly seep out and moisten the soil. The size of the hole needs to be controlled well to avoid the water leaking out too quickly. Or place a container full of cool water next to the flower pot, find a wide cloth strip with good water absorbency, put one end into the water in the container and bury the other end in the flower pot soil. In this way, the soil can remain moist for at least about half a month, and the flowers will not die.
