Problems
Prevention and Control : keep weeds down and use screen on window to keep them out . off or discard infested plant , keep them aside from non - infested plants . Trap with yellow sticky posting or take advantage of natural enemies such as predatory mites . Sometimes a good unfluctuating exhibitioner of water will wash them off the plant . look up your local garden mall professional or county concerted extension office for legal chemical recommendations . Pest : Spider MitesSpider mitesare diminished , 8 legged , spider - same brute which thrive in live , dry conditions ( like heated house ) . Spider mite feed with piercing mouth parts , which make plants to appear yellow and stippled . Leaf drop and plant death can go on with heavy infestations . Spider jot can breed quickly , as a female person can rest up to 200 eggs in a life straddle of 30 days . They also produce a web which can cover infested folio and flower .
Prevention and Control : Keep smoke down and remove infested works . Dry air seems to exacerbate the trouble , so check that plant are regularly water , particularly those preferring high humidity such as tropicals , citrus , or tomatoes . Always check new plant prior to bringing them home from the garden mall or nursery . Take vantage of natural enemy such as ladybug larvae . If a miticide is recommended by your local garden kernel professional or county Cooperative Extension office , read and pursue all label directions . center your sweat on the undersides of the leaves as that is where spider soupcon generally live . Pest : WhitefliesWhitefliesare small , winged insect that look like tiny moths , which assail many types of plant life . The fly adult microscope stage prefers the bottom of leaves to feast and breed . Whiteflies can procreate quickly as a female can lay up to 500 eggs in a life twain of 2 months . If a plant is infest with whiteflies , you will see a cloud of take flight insects when the plant life is disturbed . whitefly can weaken a plant , eventually leading to embed death if they are not mark . They can channelise many harmful plant viruses . They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew ( coveted by emmet ) which can take to an unattractive black surface fungous ontogenesis called coal-black mould .
Possible control : keep grass down ; use block out in window to keep them out ; remove invade works by from non - infested plant ; use a reflective mulch ( atomic number 13 foil ) under plants ( this repels whiteflies ) ; trap with yellow sticky plug-in , use labeled pesticides ; boost natural enemies such as bloodsucking wasps in the garden ; and sometimes a safe steadfast shower of urine will rinse them off the plant life . Pest : AphidsAphids are small , indulgent - bodied , easy - moving insects that suck fluids from plants . Aphidscome in many colors , straddle from green to brown to dim , and they may have wings . They assail a panoptic range of plant coinage cause aerobatics , deform leaves and buds . They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing / sucking mouthpart . Aphids , broadly speaking , are merely a nuisance , since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage . However aphid do produce a sweet substance bid honeydew ( coveted by ants ) which can contribute to an unattractive black surface growth cry sooty mold .
Aphids can increase promptly in numbers and each female can get up to 250 live nymphs in the line of a month without mating . Aphids often come out when the surround change - spring & fall .

Fungi : Powdery MildewPowdery Mildewis normally found on plants that do not have enough air circulation or adequate light . Problems are forged where night are cool and days are warm and humid . The powdery whitened or gray fungus is unremarkably found on the upper surface of leave or fruit . Leaves will often release yellow or brownish , coil up , and drop off . New foliage emerges crisp and distorted . Fruit will be dwarf and often drops early .
Prevention and Control : establish resistant varieties and distance plant properly so they receive adequate light and air circulation . Always piss from below , keeping water off the foliage . This is preponderant for roses . Go soft on the N fertilizer . Apply antifungal agent grant to label directions before trouble becomes severe and trace way exactly , not missing any required treatments . Sanitation is a must - clean up and transfer all leaf , flowers , or debris in the fall and destroy . Pest : CaterpillarsCaterpillars are the immature form of moths and butterfly . They are voracious feeders attacking a wide variety of flora . They can be highly destructive and are qualify as leaf feeders , stem turn borers , leaf rollers , cutworm and tent - former .
Prevention and Control : keep weeds down , pathfinder individual plants and remove caterpillars , apply labeled insecticide such as soaps and oil , take reward of natural enemies such as parasitic wasp in the garden and employ Bacillus thuringiensis ( biological war ) for some caterpillar mintage . Fungi : Black SpotA known rise disease , Black Spotappears on young leave-taking as irregular black rope , often having a yellow ring . Circles or spore colony may grow to 1/2 in in diameter . folio will turn chickenhearted and drop off , only to raise more leaf that will follow the same pattern .
