How to Get Rid of the Indestructible Mealworm in Houseplants: What Every Kitchen Has Will Ensure Its Death
If you find growths on your ficus or geranium that look like cotton wool, you should sound the alarm.
This is what mealybug colonies look like.
A parasite that has invaded indoor plants is very dangerous – advanced cases end in the death of the plant.
It would seem that there is nothing difficult in getting rid of the problem. In fact, even fungicides are powerless in the fight against the mealybug, and all because its babies cannot be seen with the naked eye.
This means that when spraying, you simply do not know where to apply the preparation to destroy all the pests, whereas in the case of mealybugs, a pinpoint effect is required.
But don’t say goodbye to your beloved “green pets”: a solution of liquid intended for washing dishes will come to the rescue.
According to flower growers who actively use this method, it is enough to dilute 10 mg of the product (one generous squeeze on the bottle) in 1 liter of warm water, and then you need to dip the flower into the resulting solution.
Subsequently, you will need to monitor the appearance of new scale insects by applying the solution pointwise with a spray bottle and wiping the leaves with a cotton pad soaked in the same solution.
