How do you get rid of the orchid scale worm?

Where do scale worms come from? When planting orchids, it is inevitable to encounter some pests and diseases, some of which are actually caused by insect pests, so it is very important to prevent and remediate orchid pests. In the summer we often see this white powder on the orchid leaves, which is the scale insect.

Scale insects are more common in the season of high temperature and humidity, and it is difficult for them to survive in low temperature and dry environments, but they can wait for the next season suitable for reproduction by hiding their hosts. Orchid seedlings and planting materials are both hosts of scale insects, so don't be surprised why orchids raised on a clean balcony can also get scale insects, it may be a guest of your house when introducing orchid seedlings and preparing planting materials.

How to prevent this congenital parasite from going to the pot? First of all, after the introduction of orchids, the dead leaves, yellow leaf sheaths, empty rotten roots, and old clothes of the old seedlings should be cleaned up, and the dens that scale insects may hide should be eliminated as much as possible. The materials used in the planting material need to be exposed to the sun for a long time, which can not only use ultraviolet rays to kill miscellaneous bacteria, but also kill parasitic eggs (of course, the planting material should be exposed to the cement floor, the effect is better).

There are many kinds of pests in scale insects, most of which can be directly sprayed to kill, even if they are pests under the soil, they can also be killed and expelled by irrigating the roots with medicated water. But scale insects are different, its white powder itself is a protective layer, plus it has a layer of wax, direct spraying with pesticides The effect is not very significant, and there must be auxiliary means in advance to make the effect of the drug better.

Trees can also get scale insects, we first use bamboo chips to scrape off the white powder of scale insects on the trunk, and then spray the tree body.

However, if this method is used on the orchid pot, the residue of scale insects scraped off may fall into the gap of the planting material, which is not easy to clean. Moreover, the leaves of orchids are soft, and the effect of removing scale insects by scraping may not be very good, and it is easy to hurt the orchid leaves if they are not clean. What to do?

There are a few tips for you to follow.

Gadgets that several families have.

1. Scotch tape, which should be a standing item that every family has, even if it is not available, it can be bought at the grocery store at the door, and it is best to choose the kind that is a little wider (4 cm), which is easy to operate. Stick the tape to the leaves of the orchid scale insects, gently tear off the white powder and the hidden pests in it, and the leaves of the orchid are basically clean after three times of pasting.

Some insect pests at the leaf base and leaf sheath are not easy to stick, so it is very easy to wrap the tape around the pen barrel and then roll it with the pen barrel. At this time, only the next step is needed to completely remove the scale insects on the leaves. The advantage of the tape is that the removed scale worm will not fall on the surface of the pot, and it can be completely destroyed after leaving the garden.

Second, the plastic spoon is the kind commonly used in fast food restaurants. The edge of this spoon is sharper but it will not hurt the orchid leaves, and there may be some stubborn insect marks on the orchid leaves that have been glued with tape, so you need to use a plastic spoon to scrape. Before scraping, place the adhesive side of the tape side up under the orchid leaves, so that the fallen pests and eggs can be glued away in time.

Use bamboo chips to scrape off the scale insects on the tree trunk, and the scale larvae that have fallen to the ground have no ability to climb the tree again, and then spray the pecans trunk and the nearby land with pesticides specially used to deal with scale insects.

First, the scale insects on the trunk of the tree were scraped off with bamboo chips, and the larvae of the scale shells that fell to the ground no longer had the ability to climb the tree, and then the pesticides used to deal with the scale insects were sprayed on the trunk of the hickory tree and the nearby land, which was cured.

Buy plant-specific insecticides, spray evenly on plant leaves, and should not be watered during the medication, and you can consolidate it a few more times.

Summary. Hello, I'm glad to answer for you For your question above, I think that when there are more scale insects on the orchid leaves or the foot of the leaf is not cleaned, you can use drugs to kill, there are two kinds of drugs, one is absorbed by the orchid plant and transported to the leaves, the scale insects suck the leaf juice and inhale the drug to die, and the other is that the drug is sprayed directly on the scale insects to kill.

The drugs that have the killing effect on the scale insects are: the god of flowers, the scale must be cured, imidacloprid, the phosphorus is killed, the rapid culling, thiamethoxam, thiazinone, chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin and other drugs, the specific use method is strictly in accordance with the instructions for use on the drug packaging, among which the small white medicine is more convenient to use, directly mix the small white medicine particles into the planting material, the drug will be absorbed by the orchid plant with each watering release (harmless to the orchid plant), and then the scale insect sucks the orchid sap with the drug to die. It is worth noting that I have heard from a dealer who sells Xiaobaiyao that there are two kinds of Xiaobaiyao, one is ineffective against scale insects, because there is a lack of an ingredient in it, and it still needs to be verified.

Orchid posture is beautiful and elegant, flowering fragrant, people have a long aftertaste, for thousands of years, has been deeply loved by people, friends who raise orchids in the process of raising orchids, our orchids will be infected with some scale insects to harm our orchids, the following is a brief talk about the control of scale insects, and communicate with you!

1. When is the high incidence season for orchid scale shells and asparatus? What are the manifestations of scale infection with scale insects?

Orchid scale insect vitality is strong, the reproductive ability is more amazing, a year can even reproduce three to four generations, the approximate incubation time in May, August and October, this animal has a needle-like mouthpart, can penetrate into the orchid plant, absorb nutrients and water, and then will infect some diseases, if the orchid is infected with the scale insect, the light leaves will turn yellow, and the heavy one will even lead to the death of the orchid.

When the scale insect occurs, the leaves and plants of the orchid are expressed, when we carefully ** the leaves, we find that the leaves have secreted honeydew, there are white spots, which can basically be sure that the scale insects have been infected, these scale insects have strong reproductive ability, if they can not be treated in time, they will soon crawl all over the orchid plants, and even destroy some other flowers, so we can not be sloppy with the scale insects.

Second, how to control scale insects?

The control of scale insects should first focus on prevention, and the quality must be strictly controlled when buying orchids, and do not buy orchids infected with scale insects.

In addition, the control of scale insects should be based on prevention, scale insects like dark and humid environments, in places that are not ventilated and do not see light, will soon be flooded. Therefore, the maintenance of orchids should pay attention to the watering should not be too much, the soil should be kept dry, and the air temperature should not be too large, and the orchids should be placed in a ventilated and breathable place where soft light can be seen.

In fact, veterans of raising orchids can know that outdoor semi-shade maintenance of orchids can see soft light, and can be ventilated, and the probability of infection with scale slow-moving shellworms will be significantly reduced, so after spring, try to maintain outdoors.

In addition, we can spray drugs early and prevent them in time, and we know that scale insect larvae are easy to control, but if they have a hard shell, they are difficult to control. In April, you can spray dimethoate, scale nirvana, etc. for control.

Three, what if it happens?

In case of scale insects, we can brush and scrape in time, experienced veterans will use cotton swabs dipped in rice vinegar for manual brushing, not only can remove scale insects, but also can supplement some acidic substances, which is beneficial to orchids, of course, you can also use alcohol to wipe them.

However, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I suggest that you can use some drugs to water the soil while wiping, so that the eggs in the soil and the remaining scale insects can be killed.

Fourth, summary The orchid posture is beautiful, but its beauty comes from our hard work and dedication.

The method is as follows: 1. Mix with the ratio of liquor and water to two pounds, water through the surface layer of potting soil, and water it once every half a month or so, 4 times in a row.

2. Use 50 ml of vinegar to soak the small cotton ball in the vinegar celery, and then use the wet cotton ball to gently rub the stems and leaves of the damaged flowers and trees to kill the scale insects.

3. Wipe the diseased plant repeatedly with alcohol.

4. Use diesel, washing powder, and water to adjust the mother liquor in the ratio of 10 to 0.6 to 6, which is milk-like, dilute it with water and contain 30% of the mother liquor, and carefully spray the diseased plants.

Scale insect treatment method: Mix liquor with water, the ratio is 1:2.

When treating insects, water the surface layer of the potting soil thoroughly. Scale insects begin to move at room temperature 7 in spring. It can be poured once in April, and then every half a month or so, and it is effective for 4 consecutive times.

Use 50 ml of vinegar (rice vinegar), soak a small cotton ball in vinegar, and gently rub it on the stems and leaves of the affected flowers and trees with a wet cotton ball to wipe off and kill the scale insects. This method is convenient and safe, which can not only achieve the purpose of insect control, but also make the damaged leaves green and shiny again.

Gently and repeatedly rubbing the diseased plants with sprinkler sperm can get rid of scale insects, and they can be removed very cleanly and thoroughly. If you wipe the orchid disease leaves with sprinkler semen, not only can the scale insects be removed, but also the larvae that are not clear to the naked eye, they are also completely killed, and the second year is rarely found to have scale insects as a pest, this method is simple, safe, and the effect is good.

Use diesel, washing powder, water according to the ratio of :6 to adjust the mother liquor, at this time the mother liquor contains 60%, milk-like, diluted with water 30% of the oil solution, the Milan, kumquat, cycad on the scale insects carefully sprayed. After one week, most of the scale insects changed from fresh orange to shriveled state, indicating that this method has a good control effect on scale insects.

Note that because the leaves of the orchid are relatively large and easy to clean, you can choose to wipe them with a damp and soft rag, because the scale insects are not easy to survive once they leave the plant body.

Put a spoonful of orchid potting soil, and you will not be afraid of any scale insects and eggs.
