When in the rainy season, care must be taken to avoid the onset of plant diseases and attacks from pests. Plants should be inspected routinely to detect trouble and take early corrective action. This includes repotting if media is not draining properly or not in good condition. Some plants such as Phalaenopsis may need to be brought under a cover to prevent crown rot and even root rot. Select the right insecticide and fungicide for control and use the proper personal protective measure to avoid harmful effects to yourself.
