Tropical plant pests
The theme of pest control is huge, but we will cover the basic moments.
Symptoms: twisting or deformation of leaves and young sprouts.
The plant attacked by pests, slows down or stops its growth; its leaves turn yellow and fall down. On leaves appear mechanical damages and holes. The scurf on a plant (white, yellowish or brown stains) can be traces of plant pests: insects, snails, etc.
Prevention: periodically examine plants for any signs of pests. If you have noticed pests, use insecticides, strictly following the instruction, a dosage and directions on frequency. It is very important to apply precise concentration - not more (can cause a burn of leaves), but also not less than recommended (allows pests to adapt for an insecticide). Slightly damaged leaves should not necessarily be removed (if they do not break decorative effect of a plant), and strongly injured leaves you would better remove.
