Peter, along with being a gentlemen, is a treasure.
I sometimes have issues on my cacti with scale ive tried all kinds of recipes and all seem to work. Thanks for sharing. I also use toothbrushes as it great avoiding the ouchy bits on cacti
That tooth brush advice is pure genius. I've been struggling with just a spray, they always pop up on my old poinsettia. I will have to do this tooth brush stuff right away. I am just an amateur, but my belief is that scaled avoid trees high in acidity like some pines. They wont touch my calamansi tree, but they love my poinsettia
Iv followed Peter since the early 80s he himself will soon be considered a living gem his legacy is US all of us who have been influenced by the knowledge of his forefathers in the world of penching pentsai and bonsai.. To remember hes a Chinese man not a Japanese guy.that his skill set has been fed from many angles and as such his horticultural skills also evolved in such a way that his own STYLE emerged many years ago and a herons Tree is recognisable in a few ways over that of a generic or even named brand bonsai from elsewhere I personally have read many many books from the world over and to say that his books are some of the most impressive modern bonsai and that his cultural background is also reflected in the literature he's produced is an understatement to his actual mental toolbox which he works from and educates us with.. There is probably 800 years worth of knowledge stored in this mans mind and the amounts of hearts touched by him is in the tens of thousands maybe even millions his need to educate the people hes in contact with is so fatherly and wise that his warm voice is carried I to the texting which he writes also and is a credit to his background of formal education and the work ethics a little foreign to most western youngsters but prevalent in generations older. His natural tendancy to be the educator is his only shackle but who's to argue with a venerable strongm8nded man with so many years of experience,, I myself can not think of any,!! Again I say this... just WOW, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MAN,, AND A HERO OF MY TIME!! THANK YOU PETER FOR THE MANY WOUNDERUFUL YEARS OF KNOWING YOUR NAME YOU'RE WORK AND YOU'RE TREES GOODLUCK FOR YOUR YEAR AHEAD AND I WILL WISH YOU THE MOST SUCCESS AND GOOD HEALTH I'd love to be able to call you my dear friend but we have never met so SENSAI is probably more fitting Sir.. Thank you so much for your help and advice in this world of bonsai and miniature gardens as I carry these acquired skills with honour and privilege!!! The real gift here is the dacades of service to our trees that you have given!! Forevers not such a long time when we think of trees and bonsai Forevers only a few seconds on the . clock face of the earth's existence,, but my forever will always have Peter close to my heart and reflected in the forms shapes and styles that my trees are developed and made into and from the deepest parts of my heart I implore that anyone who's ever read or even seen a tree of Peters that I visit his store nursery and public garden as his life's legacy needs you...
Well nobody is perfect !! Leave the guy alone.
My Carmona Fukien Tea had Aphids. I totally defoliated the tree and all the leaves came back. Its a resilient tree.
Aphids are much easier to control than scale!!
Yeah, thank god.
Great advice on scale insects Peter! Was a pleasure to be there on that day 😊
Good discussion. I had issues with spider mites on my junipers this year. Have never had it before and I blame myself for changing my watering technique. I used to water using a hose and changed to using a stylish looking watering can. The spray from the nozzle was not strong enough to flush off these crawling sucking little spiders. I've gone back to using the hose and fyi used Neem oil to reduce the impact of these critters. Great video. Cheers Craig Hunter
I agree with you 👍🏾
Yes I think spider mites are prevented by watering method. My favourite way of getting rid of them is by drowning them.
Take the plant pot and all and fully submurge it in water for ten seconds. Pull it out and all the mites are dead. Of course then you'll need to dry out the plant so it's not waterlogged. Works best with plants that like being wet (wisteria, willow etc).
They love hot and dry conditions.
Thank You Peter. Very informative video.
Thx for sharing Peter 👍
A very informative post thank you.
It's very inspired for care bonsai plants, thanks for sharing sir 🙏
Please! Please!
Get this man a microphone 🎤 !!!
Hey thanks for your videos !
this is very good informations....love it peter
informative, and now sends me out to check my plants . Thanks Peter
I live in South-Western Siberia, and here it's very interesting with pine aphids. The two native pines here are the Scots pine and the Siberian pine (a close relative of the white pine). The Scots pine hardly ever has any pests. But the Siberian pine, especially in warm and dry years, gets a lot of pine aphids, which can be very easily spotted because of their white colour. Some people plant the mountain pine, it can grow here, but it also gets some tiny beetles in its cones.

IPM is so important and they’re so many methods
Has the tree at 2:34 been covered in a different video before? It looks amazing, and would love to take a closer look at it.
I understand there is a nematode that is scale-specific. Have you ever tried that approach?
Shouldn’t you wash your hands after touching an infected tree?
I admit it’s good practice to go to the worst ones last but...Do you see how many trees Peter has and how beautiful Herons is
Should he put on a full hazmat suit & hook up the respirator when he sprays & wipe down his tools before & after each tree too?🤦🤣🤣
I wash my hands to prevent Covid.
@@loloholmes2793 washing hands and tools after handling an infected specimen would keep the spread of the disease to a minimum. Wouldn’t hurt to isolate it either. But you do you. I don’t have multiples so I isolate infected plants until the situation is corrected and try very hard not to spread the problem to the rest of my plants.
Yes you should ;)
Helpful video. No gloves, glasses or mask?
I am still strong and kicking after years of work like this.

Is there a particular solution you are dipping the tooth brush in ?
Washing up liquid
Come on Peter a toothbrush 😂
Works a treat on my cacti when i get scale on some. easy to avoid the spikes
@@rsa420 l love it ❤️
Can you use a pour on systemic?
You got to know your chemicals. Use with care.
Just a small suggestion, always wear gloves when applying chemicals.
Most chemicals also say don't spray indoors
Is that insecticidal soap you used? Worked great for me and it's cheaply made here in the Netherlands. Most groceries sell the unmixed soap in small pots.
Hey Pim vraagje ik heb witte larven in me pot grond van me binnen bonsai heb je tips ?
I find I have to spray many many chemicals all year around to prevent
neem oil works well
Banned in England! ✌️
@@gayefanner731 what? Why? They eat it in India
Major health issues, principally miscarriage in pregnant women...
You can buy it on Amazon UK
You’re probably thinking of sweet neem or curry leaves.
I tend to say if your ficus don't have scale at least a couple times a year you are doing something wrong, especially when you have an indoor winter like here in Canada.
I guess you gotta joke about it where you are?! Blue Jay told me systemic insecticides are banned in Canada, so you’ll probably never get it under control 😩
Amazes me how they can be inside for a few months no hassle and then some how the scale gets inside. In South Africa we get these hard scale bugs that the ants feed of, No Idea how they turn up in the middle of winter either
If ants feed off them you can be pretty sure d ants are putting them there! In England our ants ‘farm’ aphids for the honeydew they excrete!!
I had an insight this year. My elm bonsai harbored wooly aphids. They're quite beautiful, especially as adults and in flight.
I experimented this year. I just observed them on a few. I now believe they're providing a service...infesting the foliage that needed pruning anyway! crossing branches...areas that got too little sunlight and would have died, anyway. The trees are fine. Just a thought, as Nature's program always seeks balance, what we think is "bad" is "bad" usually only to our ill-informed understanding of Nature's way... OR Nature is countering something that doesn't jive with the program, which, I believe, WAS perfect until we butt-in to make Nature serve OURSELVES and our fallible understandings.
I'm not saying "Don't treat infestations", but "Ask what they're telling you."
The sad thing is that as one strives for balance, one's neighbors may be the root of one's problems!
Oh yeah! My oregano oil experiment was a success. No signs of the rust fungus on the junipers a year and a half later.
I never did try a DMSO/oregano oil mix. I think there would be less oil needed with the cheaper dmso added. I used straight oil on the damaged areas. The dmso would uptake up the infected sap/heartwood farther, and breach the fungal cell walls more completely. I don't think it necessary.
👍👌🙂
💕👌👍
are there no systemic chemicals one can use to control scale?
He mentions one such chemical in the very start of the video 🤷♀️
Greetings Master, I perfer to introduce myself in riddles, so, I am as old as the Super Mario Bros and my Grandmother is equally old to Mickey Mouse. She has owned a few hibiscus for around 70 years since they were quite small nursery stock. She has had quite some trouble with devilish white flies and I wanted to ask your recommendation for a treatment, she has tried pretty much everything.
I like that !
Second!
LOL A nozzle set to fan spray is the easy way to blast off scale without harm. Works every time. This guy is working way too hard with "chemicals" to achieve the goal.
This guy as you put is an expert in bonsai, he knows what he is talking about so show him some respect
If you're using a water spray strong enough to wash away any type of armoured scale you will blast the bark off the plant in or disintegrate younger shoots. Aphids, sure, and maybe some larger soft shell scales, and immature scale crawlers, but forget trying to remove armoured scales with a hose.
Works with aphids, scale not so much.
Another trick with aphids you can use on a strong and healthy plant (don't do this on a weak plant) is to take the entire plant, pot and all to some water and dunk in the entire thing for ten seconds and then lift out. Kills off aphids and spider mites.
For spider mites I've tried chemicals but they just don't work, so I prefer the drowning method for those. Of course the drowning method does not work on larger trees you can't lift
