What should I do if my bear paw has black spots?

The black spots on Bear's Paw are caused by disease. Common diseases of Bear's Paw include wilt and leaf spot. Here, the editor will introduce to you the disease and pest prevention and control methods of Bear's Paw.

Diseases

Wilt disease and leaf spot are two common diseases of Bear's Paw. The initial symptoms are the same, with black spots appearing. When the wilt disease is serious, the leaves turn yellow and fall off, and large areas of the plants die, causing great harm. Leaf spot disease mainly harms the leaves, and dense spots will appear in the later stage, seriously affecting the appearance.

Once the disease is found, remove the diseased leaves in time and use 50 grams of fungicide diluted 800 times and spray it on the surface of the plant.

Pests

The pests of bear's paw include scale insects and whiteflies. Because there are many furry white hairs on the surface of Bear's Paw, scale insects and whiteflies are small in size, and it is difficult to find them without careful observation when there are fewer pests. The pests inhabit the leaves of the bear's paw plant, sucking the branches and leaves, forming wounds and slowing down the growth of the plant. Wounds are very susceptible to fungal diseases in a humid environment, causing chain reactions.

Once insect pests are found, rinse them with clean water in time. If the pests are minor, you can also scrape them off with bamboo strips.

Then, dilute 40% oxydemeton-methyl emulsifiable concentrate 1000 times and spray it on the plant surface.
