This nearly 1 cm large dark gray weevil&nbsp;can be found on a wide range of ornamental plants.<br>\nThe weevil take bites from the leaf edges. However, the greatest damage is caused by the larvae. These live off the buds, young bark and roots. Damage to the bark and roots disrupts the sap flow and causes plants to wither and die.<br>\nThe larvae hibernate underground. In spring, the larvae pupate into young weevils. In outdoor cultivation, there is one generation per year; in the greenhouse or conservatory, there may be several due to higher temperatures.<br>\nThe vine weevil prefers the somewhat firmer, tough leaves, such as those of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/plantenplagen\/camellia\/\" target=\"_blank\" title='[vc_row][vc_column width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text el_id=\"topentry\" el_class=\"topentry\"]Camellia, an evergreen shrub or small tree and related to the tea plant.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=\"middle\" css=\".vc_custom_1627123481876{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;background-color: #ccffff !important;border-radius: 20px !important;}\" el_id=\"mobile\"][vc_column offset=\"vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1627123409680{padding: 0px !important;border: 0px initial !important;}\" el_id=\"mobiel\"] You are viewing the mobile-adapted version of the page.
