Thanks for your recipe I spray anything new arrivals straight away with your method. I worked as a foreman on a flower farm for 20 years and would is spray 200 acres of fields with mineral oils as a preventative routine. Out side was every 6 weeks but on trees shrubs and large plants. The mineral oils do have a anti fungal properties as well but slight and more preventive as well. In winter I would time it if frost was close as it would help with damage. Great on scale! Your recipe is a perfect home substitute for the oils I have used in my previous job. I prefer it over the white oils I have available in the stores here in Australia.
@renatecormick73993 жыл бұрын
I know this video is a few years old now but I’m catching up on orchid maintenance. It’s interesting to read what you said about the mineral oil used on the flower farm etc. and the white oil. Many years ago I bought about 50 phalaenopsis seedlings and managed to kill the lot with over spraying with white oil because of scale infestation. A huge mistake on my part (and an expensive one) which I will never repeat. This recipe of Danni’s is just what I will use in future. Cheers from a fellow Aussie.

But I am still fighting spider mites. They come inside the new sheaths thats why it's difficult. I will appreciate if you could answer my query.

One shared technique is cotton ball with eucalyptus oil, placed in a container with holes. Spread containers out among the plants - between the pots. The evaporation of the oil apparently deals with the spider mites.
@tksixangels446 жыл бұрын
How does this method work?
@southpark55556 жыл бұрын
The idea is the evaporating eucalyptus oil gets into the air -- coming out of the holes in the container, and can repel or maybe kill the spider mites. I think that the more evaporation that can occur --- ie. using adequate amount of eucalyptus oil and enough holes in the containers, the better the chance of it working. The idea is usually to hang the containers among the plants - such as in a green house, or maybe pop some containers on the ground between some plants. But - naturally, looking out for spider-mite activity - such as spotting early signs of leaf damage - is always necessary. So sometimes might still need to revert to usual miticide solutions - eg. drowning the mites with horticultural oil sprays, mancozeb etc.
