11. Common pests
Common pests include spider mites, mealybugs, and cyclamen mites. Neem oil is an effective treatment for these pests. You can also use insecticidal soap or remove mealybugs with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Always isolate new plants to prevent the spread of pests to your existing collection. Regularly inspect your plants for any signs of pest infestation, such as tiny webs, sticky residue, or visible bugs.
Early detection and treatment are crucial to keeping your African violets healthy and thriving. Keeping your plants clean and free of debris can also help prevent pest problems.
