So ive noticed a couple of my plants looking a little shabby, stop growing, blothes on leafes, cilia looing withered. I could not make out what the issue was as i could not see any pest visible.
Today i noticed more plants going down hill, despite good watering and adequate shade from this realy hot spell we have had. I took a real close look and it was almost imposible to see them but i spotted a few tiny red mites moving about, and what appears to be yellow ones dusted around.
Funny though, normally i can see spider mite much asier as the adults are much bigger and theirs alwasy a bit of web also. I struggled to see anything at all. Im pretty sure its the mites as the damage resembels many of the pics ive seen here and they normally come in this hot dry weather.
Flipping nusance, its always somthing to contend with.
So Ive treated them with a ratio of 1 part achohol to 1 part water with a squirt of dish soap. I looked around and this seems safe for vfts, i dowsed the foilage and tried my best to avoid the media, tilting the containers where possible... ill repeat again in 6 days
