Proper Care for Your Plants

Palms and other plants require more frequent application and secondary nutrients. Usually, mature trees require no supplemental fertilization because they absorb some nutrients applied to the turf. We can recommend our tree micro-injection service when it is appropriate.

As the University of Florida promoted, all plants are treated based on the "Key Plant, Key Pest" concept. This idea means no blanket spraying but instead only treating specific pests which are attacking plants. An example of this is the treating of Lace bugs on Azaleas.

Horticultural oils are used on as many plant pests as they can control. Horticultural oil is a non-toxic plant spray that contains spider mites, scales, aphids, and many other problems. We may use more substantial materials, but these are limited to the specific plants in need.

Plant care is more complex than turf care in that there are many different types of plants in one landscape. These can include hardwood trees, woody shrubs, palms, cycads, citrus annuals, ground cover, and other accent plants. Each of these requires individual treatment as performed by Patriot Pest Management.
