WHO CAUSES IT?
The whitefly, belonging to the Aleyrodidae family, is a common pest that affects a wide variety of plants, including geraniums. These small insects, just a few millimeters in length, are characterized by their white wings and their appearance similar to that of a small fly. Whiteflies feed on plant sap and produce a sticky substance known as honeydew, which can promote the growth of fungi such as black mold. In addition, these pests can transmit viruses and diseases to plants, which aggravates the damage caused by their feeding.

SYMPTOMS
The disease caused by whitefly in geranium manifests itself mainly in the deformation of the leaves and the general weakening of the plant. Symptoms include the presence of yellow or silver Taches on the tops of the leaves, caused by sucking the plant's sap. In addition, you can observe the presence of whiteflies on the underside of the leaves, where they feed and lay their eggs, and the accumulation of honeydew and black mold on the surface of the plant.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
25°C - 30°C
50% - 70%
TRANSMISSION PATHS
Direct contact, transport by wind, transport by infected plant materials.

Recommendations
To prevent whitefly infestation in geranium, it is important to regularly inspect the plants and take preventative measures, such as manually removing the insects and using sticky traps. It is also recommended to encourage the presence of insects that are natural predators of whiteflies, such as ladybugs, and avoid excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers, which can favor the reproduction of these pests.
TREATMENTS
Homemade treatments
- There are no home treatments
Natural allies
Chemical treatments
- There are no treatments for this disease. Treatments are directed at the insect vectors that transmit it. See insect treatments.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- Check the back of the leaves frequently, especially in dry weather.
- Spray water on the leaves to increase humidity and prevent them from settling.
- Keep plants healthy with good watering and adequate light.
- If you see cobwebs or damage, clean the leaves with a damp cloth or pressurized water.
- Use potassium soap or neem oil every few days until they disappear.
