Default Insect!

Thank you all!

I repot the plant, spray it completely with alcohol and soap, soak the Prime
agra in water with javex and soap, désinfect the pot with javex, soap and I
sprayed it.
After 15 minutes, I rinsed everything well under tap water and repot the
plant. I also desinfect the label tag and the bamboo stick holding the
flower stem.

there were some old roots that I cut and spray as well.


Thanks

Claude

plant

sure
