The diseases that are easy to infect are anthrax, leaf spot and inflorescence rot, which will cause damage to the plants to varying degrees. If the diseased leaves are found, they should be cut off in time, and then sprayed with Bordeaux or zineb. Insect pests mainly include scale insects and thrips. Scale insects move on the back of the leaves. Thrips invade the pedicels and leaf stalks. Prevention is usually done well. After the disease is found, the self-made washing liquid can be used to wipe it first, and spraying can be used in the later stage.

I. diseases

1. Anthrax: this disease mainly damages the leaves. At the beginning of the disease, the damaged parts will produce brown spots, mainly along the veins. When the disease is serious, the spot will form a brown spot with a light yellow brown edge, and then the leaves will dry and fall off.

2. Leaf spot: there are brown round spots on the edge of the leaf, and the edge is dark brown. The leaves turn green and grass yellow after infection.

3. Inflorescence rot: the inflorescence part will show signs of rot, which will seriously affect the growth and greatly reduce the ornamental value.

II. Pest

Insect pests mainly include scale insects and thrips, among which scale insects are characterized by their activities on the back of leaves. When the damage is relatively serious, a layer of black mould will be induced on the surface of leaves. After touching with hands, they will feel very sticky and will not be wiped off gently. Thrips are small yellow insects, which can invade the pedicel and leaf stem. After being damaged, the leaves unfold red, and the abnormal flowers emerge.
