What to Do if a Happiness Tree Has Pests
An introduction to dealing with pests on happiness trees and a detailed explanation of the pest control methods for green plants and flowers. Let's learn about it together.
The main pests of happiness trees include scale insects, mites, and aphids. In high temperatures and poorly ventilated environments, they are prone to infestations of scale insects, which can be controlled by spraying a 25% wettable powder of pyridaben at a dilution of 1500 times. High temperatures and dry environments can lead to mites, which can be treated with damaline. The most common type of aphid is the green peach aphid, which can be controlled with dimethoate. Let's now discuss in detail how to prevent and treat pests on happiness trees.
1. Scale Insects
In high temperatures and poorly ventilated environments, especially when kept indoors for extended periods during the autumn and winter, the stems and leaves of the plants are prone to infestations of scale insects. During maintenance, it is important to enhance ventilation and control the temperature of the plant's growing environment. If scale insects are found on the plants, they should be promptly wiped off with a damp cloth. If it is during the peak hatching period, control can be achieved by spraying a 25% wettable powder of pyridaben at a dilution of 1500 times.
2. Mites
Mites mainly harm the new and tender leaves of the plants. After plants are infested, the leaves may become wrinkled, curled, and uneven, usually occurring from June to September. High temperatures and dry weather can easily trigger mite infestations, which can be controlled with damaline and nisoline.
3. Aphids
The most common type of aphid found on happiness trees is the green peach aphid, which causes leaf deformation and wrinkling, and the leaves may also develop shiny honeydew spots. When aphids are found on happiness trees, they can be controlled by spraying with zineb, dimethoate, or fenvalerate.
The above information is about what to do if a happiness tree has pests and a detailed explanation of the pest control methods for happiness trees. I hope it is helpful to you!
