Protecting Plumeria Seedlings from Mites Mites, particularly spider mites and rust mites, are among the most challenging pests affecting plumeria seedlings. These microscopic arachnids feed by piercing plant cells and sucking out sap, causing significant damage that can stunt growth, reduce photosynthesis, and lead to premature leaf drop or seedling death if left unmanaged. Identification […]

Protecting Plumeria Seedlings from Fungus Gnats Fungus gnats are small, mosquito-like flies whose larvae live in moist soil and feed on organic matter and roots. In plumeria seedlings, larval feeding damages root hairs, leading to reduced water and nutrient uptake, seedling stress, and increased vulnerability to diseases. Identification and Life Cycle Damage Symptoms Environmental Factors […]

Protecting Plumeria Seedlings from Slugs and Snails Slugs and snails are nocturnal mollusks that can inflict severe damage on tender plumeria seedlings by feeding on leaves, stems, and roots. Their feeding leads to ragged holes, stunted growth, and vulnerability to secondary infections. Identification and Behavior Damage Symptoms Environmental Factors Prevention Strategies Management and Control Mechanical […]
