How to prevent and control red spider mites on flowers?

(1) Remove weeds and dead branches and leaves to eliminate overwintering insect sources.

(2) Manual control. When planting in pots, pay close attention to the leaves. If you find spider mites infesting individual leaves, remove the infested leaves promptly or rinse them gently with water.

(3) When the weather is dry and hot, spray water on the flowers and flower pots frequently to increase the air humidity. This is beneficial to the growth of flowers and can also inhibit the damage caused by red spider mites.

(4) When the insect population is high, spraying pesticides should be carried out as soon as possible. If the leaves have turned yellow, spraying pesticides will not save the damaged leaves.
