Spider mites can be wiped out without treatment if you have the right environment. They hate moisture! I usually use Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew for them which works well, but in early 2021 I had one plant infested with spider mites and I didn't have the energy to treat it. I put it on top of one of my shelves that has no plants on it, right next to my humidifier. Kept up with the humidifier and about a week or two later I went to treat the plant and they were all gone! So since then, whenever a smaller plant has spider mites I just blast it with humidity (70% and higher) for a couple minutes. I keep an eye on it for another week or two to make sure they are gone and it's worked every time.

SNS 209 is a systemic, it's organic and helps with controlling and repelling them. I always give plants a shower, top and bottom of all leaves. Neem makes me gag, so I went looking for something else. Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew obliterates them. Now, I do the shower, let the plant dry off, drench the top and bottom of all leaves with Jack's then drench the top layer of soil by spraying heavily. The next day I sprinkle some diatomaceous earth on the top of the soil. Spider mites have never survived this in my house or on my patio. SNS 209 is good for plants I keep outside of if I can't find Captain Jack's. Both are organic and safe around pets! But, I'm telling you if you want to destroy any mites with a one off treatment - this is the way. Wash it well, spray every inch of the plant and DE. The DE is almost optional, makes me feel better tho even if I usually skip it. Also, just a tip - no need to stare for ten minutes. Get a piece of white paper, hold it under the leaves and flick the foliage with your finger. Spider mites will fall onto the paper and be highly visible. To check if it's dirt or not, wipe your hand flat across the paper. Spider mites will make dark, rust colored streaks. Its a 30 second Spider mite test. :3
@reallybigplant2 жыл бұрын
Saban, thank you so much for sharing all of this!!💜😍 Captain Jacks has worked well for me in the past, but I think I might have created resistant mites once by not drenching the plant enough, oops! The additional DE the day after treatment is a great idea too✨ Great tip about using a piece of paper! Idk why I insist on old fashioned staring to search for pests lolol🤦♀️😂 Thanks so much for watching!!🥰💜🌱✨

My "favourite" pest to treat is also spider mites! Easy to spot, easy to treat and my plants look really nice afterwards since they get a shower beforehand. Mealybugs, I like that they are easy to see but a lot of the time, for me, they are hard to get rid of. I have two plants that always have mealybugs, despite being treated multiple times. Doesn't matter if I use Isopropyl, remove them by hand, use a spray or a granule systemic- they are never actually gone. Thrips can wipe out collections too fast and if a single one hits adulthood, you have to treat your entire collection. Like with mealybugs, sprays and systemics seem to not work on scale, from my experience. I hate scraping them off but it's the only way I've had success getting rid of them.
@reallybigplant2 жыл бұрын
That’s a good point- the end result of spider mite treatments is clean plants 😄💕 And you’re right about the mealybugs being persistent sometimes, i forgot about a months long struggle i had with mealybugs on some of my calatheas!

I’m not sure if there are specific varieties that have a trailing growth form, but it’s possible!🤔 I think mine is trailing because it’s just quite mature and i’ve never pruned it, and it’s gotten really overgrown in the way that succulents can eventually get stretched out and start to look very unique and sometimes spindly. I think the amount of light also really impacts the growth form, and they grow more compact and upright in brighter light.
