Banyan Bonsai is a highly ornamental plant with verdant branches and simple shapes. Pleasing to the eye. In some families, they like to breed banyan bonsai and place it indoors, which is not poetic and picturesque, but also relaxes the mood.

However, in breeding, it is often attacked by some pests and diseases, so how to prevent and solve it? Let's talk about the banyan bonsai pest control methods.

1. Soot disease

Soot disease is a disease that often occurs when we breed banyan bonsai, when the plant occurs in the early stage of soot disease, its branches and leaves will appear black powdery substance. After that, it was gradually covered by a soot-like mold layer, and finally could not effectively photosynthesize and breathe, resulting in a large number of defoliation of banyan bonsai.

Prevention and control methods:For soot disease, certain precautions can be taken during maintenance, such as keeping the plants ventilated, opening windows, and maintaining the right temperature and light. When the disease occurs, it can be sprayed with 500 times of 50% Tobuzin wettable powder, about once a week, until the disease is cured.

2. Aphids

Aphids are a common pest of banyan bonsai and are one of the most destructive pests on the planet. So it's a big headache for people. When aphids occur in banyan bonsai, they will absorb the sap, causing a large number of hard-working bonsai branches and leaves to turn yellow, fall off, and finally die.

Prevention and control methods:For aphids, a common insect pest, when a small number of aphids are found in breeding, the insect body can be removed first, some damaged branches and leaves can be removed, and then disinfected, and then normal maintenance can be done. If the aphids are more severe, you can use 50% marathon emulsion 1000 times, or 50% pine borer emulsion 1000 times to spray.

3. Red spider

Spider mites are also one of the banyan bonsai insect pests, and their individuals are relatively small and not easy to find. In the event of insect infestation, the chlorophyll is destroyed by piercing the leaves with their mouthparts and sucking the sap, after which the leaves turn yellow, fall off, and die.

Prevention and control methods:For the prevention and control of red spiders, in addition to a ventilated and breathable environment in breeding, it is also necessary to keep the potting soil and air moist. When a small amount of spider mites is found, the leaves can be removed by sucking, and then sterilized with dimethoate solution, and sprayed on the leaf every half month.

4. Scale insects

The scale insect is more harmful to the banyan bonsai, and when it occurs, it will suck the branches and leaves of the banyan tree and the newly tender branches, resulting in the yellowing and falling off of the branches and leaves, and in serious cases, it will also cause the branches to wither or the plant to die.

Prevention and control methods:For scale insect pest control, 30-50 ml of vinegar can be used in advance, and then soaked with a small cotton ball, and gently wiped on the branches and leaves of the banyan tree, which can eliminate a small amount of insect pests and prevent recurrence. If it is severe, it can be sprayed with 40% dimethoate emulsion 600 800 times.

Banyan soot disease.

Soot disease mostly occurs in high temperature and high humidity environment, often accompanied by the appearance of scale insects and aphids. At the onset of the disease, black spots appear on the leaves, and a black powdery substance appears. Prevention and control methods:

Strengthen the maintenance of imitation medium brightness, reduce air humidity, and strengthen ventilation;Wash off the lesions with a brush dipped in waterSpray pesticides in a timely manner, although not visible to the naked eye, these spots are definitely accompanied by bugs.

Banyan aphids. Aphids have double-spined mouthparts that secrete "honeydew". I believe that friends who maintain paintings have understood the degree of harm of aphids, and do not provoke it easily.

Control method: When a small amount of insect pests is found, wipe it with water or cloth dipped in soapy water to remove the insect body and prevent the spread of insect pests. Then spray the insecticide evenly, especially on the underside of the leaves and in the crevices.

Banyan red spider.

Spider mites are one of the most common banyan pests. Animals that are exposed to wind, rain, watering and crawling will be carried to plants, and generally spread from the bottom up, gathering on the back of the leaves. Prevention and control methods:

Spider mites are most seriously harmed in May and June of each year. At present, chemicals and rust should be sprayed. Spray every 10 days to completely eradicate weeds, spray 3 to 4 times.

Banyan scale insect.

There are many kinds of scale insects, and their intermediate scale insects often harm banyan trees, such as scale insects, scale insects, etc. It is mainly parasitic on leaves and fresh branches, absorbing nutrients from plants, which is very harmful. I believe that when one or two scale insects appear on the banyan tree, you will not care.

When a large area appears, the banyan tree becomes their territory. At this time, it is very difficult to defend against foreign enemies!

1. Cultivating banyan bonsai should choose a more breathable pot, such as clay pot and purple sand pot, and the bottom should be left, and the size of the pot should be determined according to the size of the plant. The roots of the banyan tree are developed, the vitality is tenacious, the soil requirements are not high, you can choose sandy loam mixed with humus for planting, the soil has high air permeability, and it is more suitable for the growth habit of the banyan tree.

2. Banyan is a tropical plant, like a warm and humid environment, to water frequently, watering to follow the principle of seeing dry and wet, watering to water thoroughly, so that the soil remains moist, but do not let the pot leave stagnant water. In addition to watering the plants in summer, water should also be sprinkled on the ground frequently to keep the air at a certain humidity, and water evaporation is weak in winter, so less watering can be done.

3. The root system of the banyan tree is developed, the plant is large and luxuriant, and the potting soil is difficult to meet the nutrients required for normal growth, so it is necessary to fertilize frequently, apply well-rotted boiling water once a month, and add fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements in a timely manner, which is conducive to the growth of the trunk to be more stout, and spraying nutrient solution on the foliar surface during the growth period can make the leaves more green and dense.

4. Banyan potted plants as ornamental plants need to be pruned regularly, first cut off the weak branches and diseased branches that do not grow well, and then prune the bonsai according to their own preferences, cut once a year, and then prune when the branches become thick. After pruning, place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance.
