The best way to save plant - it is correct to look after him and in due time to detect various diseases. The weakened plant is exposed to invasion of wreckers more often. Ficuses are quite resistant to diseases, but also they can catch illness.
It is required to you
- - insecticides (for example, aktellik),
- - anthelminthic medicines.
Instruction
1. To prevent appearance of wreckers and diseases in plant, correctly look after it. Put in well lit place, but not under direct sunshine. You hold in the winter far away from batteries - ficuses do not love high temperatures in winter time. Air the room, but do not allow drafts. Water it is abundant in the summer, slightly drying earth lump between waterings. Opryaskivayte plant leaves. Replace in the capacity big by the size, as required. Remove dust from leaves.
2. If you have found on external or inside of leaves or on trunk of your plant brown blyambochka about 2 millimeters in size, then this is the wrecker under the name shchitovka. Shchitovki exhaust juice from plants and emit sticky substance which covers its leaves and trunk. Larvae of this insect are imperceptible with the naked eye therefore subject plant to processing triple (every 10 days) aktelliky.
3. On plant trunks in position of joint with branches, in bosoms of scapes of leaves or on the surface of the soil when watering you can find mealy scale. Its allocations are similar to cotton wool in which there is insect. It exhausts plant juice. If damage of plant is insignificant, remove all struck parts and wash out it under shower with soft brush, it is the best of all with laundry soap. If the colony is considerable, water plant with insecticide. Substance will be absorbed by plant roots, and, having regaled, the insect will get poisoned.
4. The plant louse usually strikes young escapes with gentle leaves. The plant struck with plant louse becomes covered with sticky substance, leaves are twisted and deformed. Process ficus soap solution it is triple within week, and at severe infection use insecticides.
5. If leaves of your ficus turn gray, dry and fall down, and on the plant there was spider line, then this is web tick. Increase humidity around plant: water it, wash, spray, establish nearby humidifier. Try after spraying for 3-4 days to throw krone with cap from plastic bag - it will hold moisture. If nothing helps or the colony is numerous, in addition process any insecticide.
6. If between waterings substrate does not manage to dry out, then in it nogokhvostka can be started. These are the little white jumping invertebrates. It is simple to struggle with them: lower pot with plant in basin with water, and all emerged nogokhvostok wash away. Dry lump and repeat the procedure, you will not get rid of this misfortune yet.
7. If the ficus withers, and external inspection and the analysis of maintenance of plant have not established the reason, then most likely it is nematodes. These are the microscopic worms which are striking the root system of plant and emitting pernicious toxins. If to examine roots, then it is possible to see on them knotty outgrowths. To fight against nematodes very difficult. Can help you having watered plants with addition of anthelminthic medicines.
