When growing flowers indoors, it is not advisable to use highly toxic pesticides to control pests. People commonly use laundry detergent, tobacco solution, chive solution, and pepper solution to prevent pests, but these methods are somewhat troublesome, requiring spraying two to three times a day. If not properly used, the alkaline laundry detergent can also harm acid-loving flowers such as azaleas, orchids, and米兰. Below are three quick methods to eliminate pests.
1. Mosquito coil fumigation: Light a mosquito coil and hang it above the plant with pests, then cover the plant and pot with plastic film. After one hour, all aphids, red spiders, and whiteflies will be eliminated. This method is especially suitable for golden oranges that are easily affected by red spiders.
2. Eucalyptus oil spray: Spray the plants with eucalyptus oil diluted 400 to 500 times with water. Eucalyptus oil has a strong penetrate effect and is effective against various pests, especially pests like green scales that are usually not affected by general insecticides.
3. Placing camphor balls in the potting soil: Flowering plants with tuberous roots, such as peonies and dahlias, bulbs like lilies and scallion bulbs, and plants with fleshy roots often suffer from nematode damage. You can crush the right amount of camphor balls and mix them into the potting soil, which is very effective in preventing nematodes.
