It looks like there are tiny spiderwebs covering the leaves, and they turn mottled white, then they shrivel up and die. I've been picking off the affected leaves thus far, but it's spreading and soon there won't be anymore leaves to pick! I hope the pics are clear enough! Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

Google tells me that the best way to get rid of spider mites is to blast them off with a hose, or introduce good bugs that will eat the mites. I blasted the leaves with a spray bottle. Since these plants were inside my Florida room, I put them outside so that the good bugs can get to them. I guess it's just a waiting game now? Does anyone have a better way to get rid of spider mites? Quote \| Reply \| Report
