You’ve poured your heart and soul (not to mention your weekends!) into creating your dream garden, only to find your beautiful roses infested with aphids, lovely ferns covered in powdery mildew and that oh-so-vibrant hibiscus under spider mite attack. These pesky invaders detract from your garden’s beauty, weaken your plants, reduce their lifespan and even impact your perceived property value.
Don’t let these problems spiral out of control! Our team is here to help save your plants with garden maintenance in Wahroonga.
Proactive Approach to Pest and Disease Control
These are some of the most common culprits hiding out in our gardens:
- Aphids are tiny, pear-shaped insects found clustered on stems, undersides of leaves, and new growth. These tiny sap-sucking insects can weaken plants and spread diseases.
- Scales are small, immobile bumps on stems and leaves that cause yellowing or discoloration of leaves. In bad cases, they could even stunt new growth.
- Two-spotted mites are microscopic pests that leave fine webbing on the undersides of leaves with a stippled or mottled appearance. They are known to cause yellowing leaves and premature leaf drop.
- Powdery mildew is a relatively common fungal disease that can be spotted as a white powdery coating on curled leaves. It interferes with photosynthesis and reduces flowering.
- Leaf spot is a fairly common fungal disease that causes unsightly brown or black spots on leaves, weakening the plant and causing premature leaf drop.
