Frequently Asked Questions
Many people aren't sure whether their landscape plants need fertilization, insect treatments, or disease prevention applications. Hopefully, the FAQs below will answer any questions you have. If not, just call us at 954-776-4519, and our shrub and ornamental experts will give you an answer!
Yes. Shrubs and ornamentals, like any plant in South Florida, are at risk of infestation and damage from a wide range of insect pests.
Your shrubs and ornamental plants need proper nutrition to grow, thrive, and flower. The soil in South Florida neighborhoods doesn’t always contain the nutrients plants need. Fertilization treatments revitalize the soil so your plants’ roots can absorb the nutrients plants crave.
Keeping your shrubs and ornamentals looking nice is just one benefit of fertilization. Even if your plants look healthy, they could still be at risk of succumbing to pest infestations or disease. Fertilization treatments give your shrubs the nutrients they need to thrive and fight off pests and diseases effectively.
A common ornamental plant pest, whiteflies use their sucking mouthparts to puncture the underside of leaves and suck fluids from plants. It’s often hard to spot an infestation of whiteflies until leaves turn yellow and begin dropping off your shrubs and ornamental plants. You can determine if you have a whitefly infestation by shaking your plans to see if a cloud of whiteflies emerges. Contact Maximum Pest and Fertilization if you suspect you have a whitefly infestation.
