What should I do if there are white bugs in the soil where I grow flowers?

1. What is

White bugs that appear in the soil where you grow flowers may be whiteflies, a very common pest that can be caused by many reasons. Its harm is very serious. It will directly suck the juice in the plant, causing lack of water and reduced yield. It will also inject toxins into the plant while sucking the juice, and cause mold, thereby contaminating the leaves and seriously affecting the appearance. It not only directly affects the plants, but also spreads various viruses and causes other diseases.

2. What to do

1. Prevention: Before planting, the soil must be disinfected and exposed to the sun to remove insect eggs and bacteria, thereby preventing insect pests from the source.

2. Cover with sand: Generally, the source of these insects is mainly moist soil. You can spread a layer of sand or perlite on the surface of the flower soil. It should be clean to prevent the insects from hatching.

3. Spraying medicine: If the situation is more serious, you will need to use medicine. You can buy special insecticides and spray them into the flower pots to kill the insects.
