The first tactic is to strengthen the plant by providing the correct amount of sunlight. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of understanding a plant's specific needs for nutrition and overall health to defend against pests. Essential elements like calcium, potassium, and phosphorus are crucial, but relying on a single nutrient is not enough. Using a variety of fertilizers and organic options is recommended.

Strong plants are easier to treat and less likely for pests to return.
