影片七:Treating Pests & Diseases of the Venus Flytrap 治療小捕的蟲害和疾病
http://www.expertvillage.com/video/4053_venus-flytrap-pests.htm
在這段影片中,我們將要談到一些會傷害到小捕的共同疾患,通常很少有疾病或是蟲害會傷害到您的小捕,但是您常見到的病蟲害大多是像蚜蟲或是不同種的黴菌,食蟲植物卻被蟲所食,雖然聽起來有點諷刺,可是它的的確確偶爾會發生!如果您正受蚜蟲之苦,您可以使用一種叫Ornithine的產品(台灣並沒有,有點像是矽藻素,可是替代品也很多,只要您到花市去詢問一下就可以囉~)這是我們常常喜愛使用的,如您所看他常常是圓圓的一罐,您只要找到以治療盆土介質為主的,您只要將這些粉灑一些在盆土上,或是圍著盆栽灑一圈也可以,這類的產品會確切的滲入介質內,由根部吸收傳送到小捕葉面及全身,當小蟲咬食小捕時就會被毒死,但是他應該是不會對小捕造成傷害才。
另外一個常見的病害就是黴菌,您可以看看這盆憂鬱的小捕(呱哈~鴨王就是要這樣翻囉~請各位看看Wes兄手上的小捕吧!)這就有可能有黴菌在小捕的身上或是土裡,在治療小捕前,您必須要先確認小捕不是因為其他因素而虛弱,像是水質的問題,或是小捕可能要進入冬眠時期…等等,我們喜歡使用Captane,(也是台灣沒有的殺菌劑)或是其他使用在植物上的殺菌劑,您必須將藥劑溶解混合在水中,然後像這樣的噴灑在植株的表面,這樣就可以好好解決您黴菌,或是其他蟲害的問題啦~(鴨王補充一下!台灣並沒有太多的殺菌劑,尤其是這類具有毒性的農藥大多是限制購買的,如果不是農夫一般人很難買的到,鴨王建議鴨子們盡量讓小捕們接受充分的陽光,還有保持空氣的流通,一旦有發現病狀的小捕,要立刻將其隔離觀察,避免病害的擴散喔!只有平時多增強小捕的抵抗力,才是最好的抗菌法,噴藥實在不是好的預防解決之道囉!)
In this video segment, I am going to talk to you about common diseases that may plague your Venus fly trap plant. In general, there aren’t very many diseases or pests that may harm your plant, but the most common ones you may encounter are things like aphid or different types of fungus. It may seem a little bit ironic that a carnivorous plant may suffer from an insect disease, but this does occasionally happen. If you are suffering from aphids, you can use a product called Ornithine; this is something we like to use. It comes in a pellet form as you can see here, and you just want to treat the soil of the plant. You really only want to put on a dozen or so of these small pellets around the soil of the plant. This product, this insecticide will be absorbed into the soil through the roots and up into the leaves of the fly trap. When the insects try to bite the leaves of the fly trap, they will then die from the poison, but this shouldn’t harm your plant. Another common pest, or disease rather, is the fungus. You can see here that this plant is looking kind of sad shape, and it may have a little bit of fungus on the plant or on the soil. You want to make sure that this plant isn’t dying for another reason, like a low water level, or it could be going into dormancy before you treat it. We like to use here this captane, or other fungicides that you use for the plant. Here, you want to mix it up in solution, and then spray it on top of the plant like this, and that should take care of your fungus problem, or any of your insect problems that you are having. |
