One thorough spraying or dipping is usually suffi- 
cient to kill all of the insects on your plants, as 
well as the eggs. 
This treatment may burn the edges of your blossoms 
but will not harm the buds. It will also leave a 
slight residue which may be washed off with warm 
water later. 
5 DISEASES AND CONTROL 
At first sign of rot, plant should be sprayed or 
dipped in Fermate (Dupont Fungicide) at rate 
of 4 ounce to three gallons of water. 
b Stem rot: Generally found on older plants at 
soil level. 
Plant will have drooping appearance even though 
soil is wet. 
Top of plant should be removed; cutting away 
all rotted areas and re-rooting in a propagating 
medium. 
Should the rot be in advanced stages, take leaf 
cuttings and destroy the old plant, as it will 
probably die.
