When growing flowers, the soil easily breeds pests? A few simple tips make pest removal easy

When growing flowers, the soil easily breeds pests. Let me teach you a few simple tips - pest removal is just that easy

A flower friend asked: there are pests in the flower soil, how do I get rid of them?

Pests in flower soil are usually because we didn't do a proper job of killing pests when using the soil; after planting, the eggs they laid hatched into pests. Actually, if we do a proper job of killing pests when we first use the soil, that solves it.

Especially with leaf mold dug from under trees or leaf mold we fermented ourselves, after it sits for a while, pests burrow in and lay eggs, so when we use it we need to do the pest-killing work. When first using it, we can scald the soil with boiling water, or mix insecticide into the soil, such as soil pest pills and the like, or when using the soil we can put it in the microwave for a bit, or put it out in the sun to bake. Baking in the sun can kill or drive off the pests and dry out the eggs, while scalding with boiling water or heating in the microwave can thoroughly kill the eggs. This way you can prevent pests from appearing after planting flowers.

If pests are in the soil after we've planted, the only option is to drench the soil with pesticide. The drenching method is also very simple: we directly drench the potting soil thoroughly with the pesticide, leave it for more than ten minutes, then water thoroughly with clean water several times to wash away the pesticide components in the potting soil.

Growing flowers will inevitably bring pests; as long as pests appear, we apply pesticide, and by doing the pest-killing work in the potting soil in advance, basically no pests will appear. Of course, if your flower-growing area has poor ventilation, pests appear easily, so spraying pesticide once every month in advance as a preventive measure is also a good idea.
