TOPICAL PEST CONTROL - quick & effective! It doesn't always have to be a systemic... try this first!

SCALE, MEALY BUGS and any other PEST that come to 'visit' our orchids and use them as their spring buffet... can be dealt with straight away BEFORE it becomes a problem. Don't let the pests feast on your collection. They do not need OUR orchids to survive, there is plenty of other vegetation out there for them to thrive on, it doesn't have to be OUR orchids. If dealt with quickly, upon seeing any signs of them ... then there will be no need for any chemical intervention. I find this the easiest, quickest and safest method to intervene / stop the spread, FAST! Bear in mind, you must keep a close eye on your orchids for immediate detection, for this to work. I hope this simple method will work for you, it has done so in my collection for years! If you have other effective methods, please share...looking forward to hearing your methods of fast intervention in the comments section below. Thank you for watching!
