Differences and eradication methods between red spiders and aphids
Topics related to the flower clinic, including the differences and eradication methods between red spiders and aphids, let's learn about them together next.
Many plants have the problem of aphids and red spiders, from a small pot of chrysanthemums to a large pot of wealth trees, which is really worrying for flower lovers. Let's first talk about the differences between the two:
Aphids:
We can see them directly, with a body length of 1-2 millimeters, translucent green bodies, usually gathered in clusters, and they survive by absorbing the sap of plants, usually gathering at the top of branches.
Red spiders:
They belong to the mite family and we can't see them with the naked eye, but the leaf surface will have a white appearance with a spider web feeling, and it feels rough when touched, which is caused by red spiders.
Both red spiders and aphids cause significant harm, not only can they spread, but they also absorb a large amount of plant sap, the most intuitive feeling is that the plant grows slowly, does not grow, or even gradually turns yellow.
So, how to eliminate these two pests?
Using chemicals is the most direct method, but for most flower lovers, they do not have the habit of storing these chemicals at home. Therefore, combining my own practice, I will tell flower lovers about the eradication methods.
Ps: To add a point, do not believe in folk remedies like cigarette butts and milk to eliminate red spiders, as they are not only laborious but also ineffective, or even ineffective.
Chemical use, after all, this is the most scientific and effective
Eradication of red spiders:
You need to distinguish between adults and eggs. Mitac, Jinmanzhi, and Aikamite are very effective in killing adult red spiders, while Mite Wei and Yimite kill eggs. In short, insecticides and ovicides must be mixed, and when spraying, make sure to spray both sides of the leaves.
Eradication of aphids:
This is much easier to deal with than red spiders, you can use Pyrethrin to spray.
Manual removal
This is probably the favorite method of flower lovers, but it should also depend on the actual situation. Do not handle manually just to avoid spraying.
If there are only three or two pots of flowers, we can remove them manually. For red spiders, use soapy water to wash the leaves every three to five days, for two to three times, and they will be gone, especially for large-leaf plants like the滴水观音 (Schefflera heptaphylla).
For aphids, directly rinse with water, or add a little laundry detergent.
If you have a dozen or even dozens of pots of flowers at home, it is recommended to buy a pot of medicine, as there is no need to handle manually.
