Bonsai Tree First Aid - Against Pests or Fungus

There are many ways to kill a bonsai:

Not enough water

To much water

Leaving the bonsai indoors to long

But there are also another ways to kill a bonsai. Like pests and/or fungus infestations. You need some bonsai first aid to fix them up.

An insect killing soap utilizes control of many insects: Aphids, earwigs, grasshoppers, harlequin bugs, leafhoppers, mealybugs, mites, plant bugs, psyllids, sawfly larvae, soft scales, spider mites, squash bugs, blossom thrips, and whiteflies.

Since Safer® Brand Insect Killing Soap, is a contact killer. Do not use these products in the peak of the day or when temperatures exceed 90 degrees F to avoid wilting or browning of the leaves. 100% ready-to-use. Just point and spray (gentle on plants with no unpleasant odor).

Ants: Don't spray them, instead sprinkle Ant Powder all over them and in and around where you see them living. This will get rid of them, faster than you think. Remember ants will commonly carry aphid eggs into trees, protect them from predators and milk them of their sticky, sweet excretion called honeydew. If ants are spotted, they should be dealt with!

Caterpillars: Are very destructive to leaves and young growth, leaving holes in leaves and in some cases completely stripping them altogether. They are often very difficult to spot due to excellent camouflage, close inspection of leaves, stems and in particular, the underside of foliage is required to find and remove them by hand.

Jin Seal - Lime Sulfur for Bonsai Trees... Used as an all around fungicide. Jin Seal is a more concentrated solution than the regular garden nursery products. Use with extreme care, eye and skin protection recommended. This stuff works great for removing fungus.
