Snails can also be a pest
However, the probability is rather low for adult plants. The situation is different with young plants, because the molluscs find these particularly tasty. Since we certainly don't have to show you what snails look like, let's get straight to the damage and possible remedies.
Damage caused by snail infestation:
- eaten hydrangea leaves
- Holes in the leaves
- Traces of slime, but they do not harm the hydrangea
What can you do about the infestation?
- Copper bands
- Bierfallen
- Scents of lavender, garlic
- coffee grounds
- Eggshells
- Snail trap with a wooden board: place it under the plant, whereupon the snails collect on it
- collect by hand and carry away
