Answer 1

While saving them is challenging, there is hope. Start by cleaning and trimming the affected areas, removing damaged material. Inspect for Lily Borers and consider using an insecticide containing imidacloprid cautiously. Isolate the plants to prevent the spread of pests, repot them in fresh soil, and provide balanced, diluted fertilizer for recovery. Monitor for new growth, be patient, and consult with local experts for tailored advice. In addition to imidacloprid, potential chemical remedies may include neem oil-based insecticides for a more natural approach.
