Diaznon is some nasty stuff, it will even kill people given the right conditions.
Although so will many of those other chemicals.

I have never had any problems with using and pesticide on a fukien tea.
For Aphids I will spray with the home made mix, and then add somr Merit to the soil. Works wonders.
