Insecticide For Ferns
-
Ferns, both tropical and temperate, love humidity. Indoor ferns in particular are susceptible to drying out, but even outdoor ferns can suffer during hot, dry weather. Mist indoor ferns with water two to three times a week during dry winter or summer months to keep them perky and healthy. Use room temperature water to avoid shocking indoor plants. Keep a spray bottle handy for frequent misting. Outdoor ferns benefit from watering during summer. You can water shady areas anytime. Water sun-tolerant ferns in bright areas in the morning or evening to avoid burning the leaves.
Water Treatment for Pests and Problems
-
Though ferns are hardy, low maintenance plants, they do suffer from insect infestations from time to time. Mites, mealybugs and scales commonly affect indoor and outdoor ferns. The University of Rhode Island Landscape Horticulture Program recommends spraying infected ferns with warm water to dislodge the insects. Place potted ferns outdoors during mild weather, or in the bathtub in winter, and spray off all visible insects. Spray ferns with warm water whenever new signs of the insects return.
Chemical Control
-
When indoor or outdoor ferns suffer from an insect infestation, often the best way to curb the problem is by removing the infected plants to prevent spread to healthy ferns. Pesticides can be an effective spray for ferns as long as they don’t damage the plants beyond repair. When selecting a pesticide to spray on ferns select one that is specifically indicated for ferns. Follow the instructions indicated on the package label and isolate infected ferns to avoid overspray and spread infestation.
The Unwanted Fern
-
While many ferns add lush, delicate greenery to your home and garden, there are some places where ferns are just a nuisance. To get rid of ferns, the best way is to dig them up and discard them. When that’s not an option, select a foliage herbicide to spray on ferns. Apply the herbicide as directed on the package label, being careful not to overspray and damage plants you want to keep.
Insecticide For Ferns
Ferns are beautiful and delicate, but they can be susceptible to insects. Insecticides are designed to kill these pests and keep your ferns looking healthy. Some of the most common types of insecticides for ferns include:
-Neem Oil: Neem oil is made from the neem tree, which is native to India. It has been used as an insecticidal treatment since ancient times, and it can be very effective against many types of insects including aphids and whiteflies. Although neem oil can be expensive, it is considered one of the safest insecticides available today because it does not contain any harmful chemicals or pesticides, so you don’t have to worry about damaging your plants when using it as an insecticide for ferns.
-Pyrethrin: Pyrethrin is a type of natural substance found in chrysanthemum flowers that can be used as an insecticide for ferns if sprayed directly onto their leaves or stems every few weeks during summer months when insects are more active outdoors (but not during winter months when temperatures are too cold outside). Pyrethrin is considered safe for use around pets or children because it isn’t toxic at all levels
