Avoid diseases and pests by providing the ideal environment for your plant to thrive. Miss Kim lilacs are disease resistant. Lilacs are rarely affected by insects. However watch out for Scale and Borers. Scale is an insect seen on the underside of leaves, stems, and branches. They may look cottony or waxy and move slowly or not at all. These insects are parasitic so they can be a problem if they become abundant. They can be treated with neem oil. Be sure to thoroughly cover the entire plant and apply multiple doses. If you see holes in the stems of your plant you have Borers. These are generally hard to treat without pruning the plant back as they live inside the plant. However, natural pesticide, Bacillusthuringiensis can be an effective treatment.
