How do you control pests on chrysanthemums?

Our Advice:

Chrysanthemums can be susceptible to pests such as aphids, spider mites, and thrips. To control pests, start by keeping the plant healthy and well-fertilised to promote natural resistance. Regularly inspect the plant for signs of infestation and remove any affected leaves or flowers. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil spray to control minor infestations, or a systemic insecticide for more severe cases. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates and timing, and to avoid spraying during hot or windy conditions.
