How to prevent pests when maintaining Chinese roses
With the change of seasons every year, especially in May and June, for新手 rose enthusiasts, we must do two things right, so that the Chinese roses can bloom smoothly. As the seasons change, May and June often bring continuous rainy and cloudy weather, high humidity, and heat, which can easily lead to pest infestations. During this period, the most common pest is aphids.
When aphids appear, the most crucial thing is to observe frequently. Aphids are often accompanied by ants. Why do ants appear? Because the honeydew secreted by aphids attracts ants. Therefore, first, let's talk about the harmfulness of aphids. They will absorb the sap from branches or leaves, leading to poor growth or the occurrence of diseases.
Because the excrement of aphids will adhere to the leaves, affecting photosynthesis and easily leading to the occurrence of sooty mold disease. I had aphids on one of my Chinese roses before, and after my treatment, the aphids were completely eradicated.
When aphids appear, we can use Abamectin. Use a dropper to mix 1 milliliter with 1000 milliliters of water, shake well, and then place the Chinese rose in a well-ventilated and bright area, and spray it.
Wherever there are aphids, spray there. When spraying, make sure to cover the front of the leaves to achieve the best pest control effect. After one spray, we then use a spray bottle filled with clean water to clean the aphid corpses from the branches of the Chinese rose. After cleaning, the most crucial step is to disinfect.
Because aphids can leave many wounds on the branches, some germs or bacteria can enter through these wounds, leading to the occurrence of diseases. Therefore, we immediately use carbendazim to spray 1:1000 twice, mainly for sterilization and disinfection. Maintaining Chinese roses or other flowers also requires frequent observation. We can also use this medication for prevention.
