It belongs to Lycoris family, mainly distributed in the south of Africa, which is also its origin. In China's Hubei Province and Beijing, it is also widely distributed. At present, with the development of technology, this kind of plant has been able to be introduced and cultivated artificially. Today we will mainly introduce its pest and disease problems.

Disease

Compared with insect pests, it has more diseases, so we mainly introduce this aspect

The first disease is called root rot, which is a familiar disease. It is mainly caused by too much water in the basin or the invasion of bacteria through the wound of the root when transplanting carelessly. Its symptoms may be manifested in the leaf area, yellow leaves or no new leaves. For this disease, first of all, we should pay special attention when transplanting. If there are festering parts in the root, these parts need to be cut off and coated on the wound surface for sterilization. Also, pay attention to the amount of water, don't let the basin soil accumulate too much water.

The second disease is called sunburn. By its name, we can infer that it is caused by too much light. The disease mainly occurs in summer, when the leaves turn yellow in large areas. For this kind of disease, the solution is relatively simple, which is to shade the plant properly and cut off the yellow leaves.

The third disease is anthrax, which mainly occurs in very humid seasons. To control this disease, we can spray some fungicides. In addition, we will remove the sick leaves and withered leaves and burn them. Besides, ventilation and light transmission are also very important.

Insect pest

A common pest is the "soft snail", which eats the leaves of this plant and makes them grow askew. To deal with this pest, we must first know that they like humid environment. So, in the evening when it's dark and humid, we can concentrate on killing, or spray some chemicals to kill
