To detect these insects only during the transplant. If you noticed them in the ground, be sure to change the substrate completely, even the roots should be cleaned from old earth, because it can stay eggs of pests that can harm the fresh soil.

Nagahuedi Another name for these jumping insects like fleas – poduri. This kind of pests houseplants, too, inhabits earth. Multiply nagahuedi very quickly, especially in moist substrate. They feed on decaying vegetable remains, therefore gnawing small holes on the stems that are near the ground, rarely on the roots. The biggest harm of nagahuedi bring in the damp time of year – autumn, when plant growth stops, and it can't cope with life.

If you noticed the infection to get rid of pests just. You need to fill the surface soil with ash, or dried sand.

Whitefly This type of pest is very similar to winged aphids. Whiteflies are very small, about three millimeters. They attack the inner part of the leaf and drink the juice from them. If time does not take action, the leaves wither, turn yellow and fall off. Since the whitefly is a native of tropical countries, their habitat is very warm and humid room. The most likely victims of these insects are plants with thin leaves and also flowering plants such as Azalea, primrose, hibiscus.

Good prevention of whiteflies is the ventilation and lowering the temperature. You can treat the plant with insecticide solution: this should be done once a month. It is desirable to prevent contamination of the flower, because to deal with this pest quite difficult.

Weevils and Caterpillars, These insects have a length of about one and a half inches and rigid wings. They are especially dangerous for begonias and azaleas. Eating around the edges of the leaves, weevils cause irreparable harm to the plant, and their larvae feed on the roots.

Insects are protected by a shell similar to shell mussels. Forming on the stems and leaves of stationary columns, scale insects suck out plant juice.

This category of pests includes Australian mealybugs (about ladybugs). They are different from insects only by the fact that sometimes move around the plant. In the home scale insects well survive, since their development is optimal room temperature.

Root scale insects, mealy relatives, a bit smaller. Live and reproduce in the roots. The biggest danger these pests pose to plants with thick leaves, highlighting the dew which forms burns. Due to the fact that scale insects and mealybugs spread rapidly, they are able to bring irreparable harm to the plant. Stems cracks appear, the leaves turn yellow, then wither away of branches and the flower dies.

If the infection still occurred, you must handle flower remedy for aphids, repeating this procedure five to six days. You can also spray the plant extract of onion or garlic (1 teaspoon on 1 glass of water).
