It is always good to know the main plant pests and diseases in order to recognize them when reviewing them and then apply an effective solution as soon as possible.
Among the main pests are aphids, small insects, often greenish in color, that through their beaks absorb the sap of the plants and this is how they weaken them to the point that they can die if they are not attacked in time. In case the attack is mild, it is recommended to cut off the damaged leaves and shoots. In addition, you can spray with a mixture of mild soap and a splash of methyl alcohol mixed in a liter of water.
Other enemies of plants are Mealybugs, which cause the deformation and fall of the leaves. This pest is detected just by observing the plant as it forms white and brown shields.
La White fly It is also a very frequent pest and it is an insect that secretes a sticky substance on the plants where the Negrilla fungus, black in color, later settles. The leaves lose color and curl.
La Red spider it is a tiny 1 mm mite and very treacherous because it is difficult to see with the naked eye. To combat it, you have to spray the plant with water on top because these little spiders are very bothered by water.
On the ground also coexist the so-called soil worms. There are different species - white, gray or brown - and affect the roots. The most common are white worms, which you can spot by burrowing through the surface of the ground.
