🌺 How to get rid of pests on Hibiscus?

Hibiscus flowers are beautiful but the plants are also... tasty! So they can face a variety of pests, including:

· Aphids: small insects cluster on new growth, sucking sap from the plant and causing distortion or yellowing of leaves.
· Whiteflies: look like tiny moths and can be found on the undersides of leaves, sucking plant juices.
· Spider Mites: can form webs on the undersides of leaves and cause discoloration and stippling.
· Thrips: slender insects that feed on flower buds and young leaves, causing them to become distorted and discolored.
· Scales: small, immobile bumps on stems and leaves, sucking sap and weakening the plant.

Treatment methods:

Pruning: Remove heavily infested parts of the plant and dispose of them properly to prevent the spread of pests.

3 Horticultural Oils: Neem oil or insecticidal soap can be effective against soft-bodied pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Sunshine Nobug is a perfect organic solution that contains oil and soap.
4 Water Spray: Regularly spraying your hibiscus with a strong stream of water can help dislodge pests like aphids and whiteflies from the plant.
5 Systemic Insecticides: These are chemicals absorbed by the plant, making it toxic to insects feeding on it. However, use them cautiously and follow the instructions to minimize harm to beneficial insects and the environment.

❗️Always monitor your hibiscus plants closely for signs of pest infestation, and take prompt action to prevent damage. Regular maintenance, such as proper watering and fertilizing, can also help keep plants healthy and more resistant to pests 🕷🐛
