🕷️ Pests Sword Controls
- Spider Mites: Tiny sap-suckers that multiply fast. Sword stops them on contact and creates a barrier that discourages reinfestation.
- Powdery Mildew: That white, dusty coating that spreads across leaves. Rosemary oil's antifungal properties knock it back.
- Aphids: Soft-bodied clusters on new growth. Chitosan's barrier effect works particularly well against them.
- Fungus Gnats: The annoying little flies that hover around houseplants. Sword disrupts their life cycle and keeps populations down.
- Whiteflies: Persistent fliers that flutter up when you water. Regular applications keep them in check.
- Scale Insects: Bumpy hitchhikers on stems. Apply directly and they stop feeding.
📋 How to Use
- 1. Shake the bottle well before each use.
- 2. Identify the affected area — leaves, stems, or soil surface.
- 3. Spray directly onto the problem spot until surfaces are wet but not dripping. Pay attention to the undersides of leaves, where most pests hide.
- 4. For active infestations: Repeat every 3–5 days until pests are eliminated.
- 5. For prevention: Apply once weekly during the growing season, focusing on new growth and leaf undersides.
- 6. Apply in the early morning or evening to avoid potential leaf stress in strong midday sun.
- 7. Monitor your plant over the following days and repeat as needed.
