Best Bonsai Pest Treatments
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Small trees in shallow pots show stress quickly, and pests find them fast. Spider mites on junipers, scale on citrus, aphids on fresh spring growth and fungus gnats in damp indoor mix are the usual visitors. Treatments range from horticultural oils and insecticidal soaps to systemic granules, and they differ in what they target, how long they persist, and whether foliage will burn in strong sun. We weighed effectiveness against safety on tender growth and on species known to react badly to oils. Application method, indoor smell and whether repeat treatments are needed all counted. Soaps and oils suit early infestations caught during a routine inspection. Systemics suit stubborn scale that contact sprays cannot reach. Read the label for your species, treat out of direct sun, and check leaf undersides weekly.
