Today I noticed that some small bugs often appeared in my potted plants. I was really annoyed by these little things, so I started to deal with these pests in the soil.
Preparation
First, I went to the gardening store downstairs. I bought some insecticides and a small shovel. I also prepared a watering can. These are basic tools that can be useful.
Action
I put on gloves, then carefully used the small shovel to loosen the soil in the flower pot. This was to ensure that the insecticide could penetrate better. Then, I mixed the insecticide with water according to the instructions. It must be noted that the ratio must be mixed according to the instructions on the insecticide, not too much and not too little.
- Loosen the soil with a small shovel
- Mix insecticide with water
- Spray the mixture evenly on the soil
Detailed Process
After mixing, I started spraying the insecticide mixture evenly on the soil surface. I paid special attention to the roots of the plants and the bottom of the pots because those places are where pests like to hide. During the process, I made sure that every inch of the soil was covered with the insecticide.
Observation
After spraying, I didn’t just sit back and wait. I observed the condition of the potted plants every day. I found that those little bugs gradually disappeared. The plants started to look healthier.
Conclusion
Through this pest control experience, I learned how to properly use insecticides and how to observe and care for plants. This was a very practical lesson for me. I feel very happy seeing my plants regain their vitality.
That’s all for my sharing. Hope it’s helpful to those who are also troubled by pests.
