How to get spot and get rid of Spider Mites on plants! | My treatment that works!

[@PlantVida]

Best video by far regarding spider mites ! I’ve never seen what they looked like or what after damage would appear like! Thanks for the time and effort put in the video!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! I appreciate that! 🙏🏼☺️

I just found spidermites on a bonsai and one of my alocasia. I also use azamax with great results! But you should really wear gloves, a mask, and eye protection when using pesticides. Especially indoors. The miticides seem to be extra caustic on skin/eyes. It's soooo bad for you! Protect yourself!

My two dieffenbachia plants (Camille and Splash) are the two plants where spider mites love to hang out and have a picnic.. It doesn't matter what the humidity is (30% or 60%), summer or winter, so annoying. I also treated it with Jack's spray and isopropyl alcohol 90%. The alcohol seems to have better results than Captain Jack's spray.

Thanks for this video Melissa. The closeup of the mites so I know what I look like.

Wanted to tell you I really enjoy your videos. Also wanted to ask if you could possibly turn up your audio, whenever I click to view your videos I have to turn up my laptop volume to the highest level and I still have trouble hearing what you are saying. Just wanted to let you know, maybe other viewers experience this too. The advice you offer is much too good to miss!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! I don’t have a mic yet so I’m just using my phone audio. I’m still new at this whole KZbin thing but after I move here soon I plan on upgraded from my phone and getting better equipment ❤️☺️

Melissa great video ❤️ I appreciate your hard work and the steps you provide to deal with the spider mites so the we can learn and hopefully be able to tackle these pests. I have not dealt with spider mites but have unfortunately had thrips twice and finally learned what to look out for

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! I haven’t had thrips so I’m definitely terrified of them 🥲

My shivereana had spider mites. I treated it with diluted neem oil concentrate with a splash of dish soap. The leaves are drooping and look so sad. Hoping it bounces back and doesn't lose all of its leaves.

You're my shero!😁 Thank you soo much for this vid! Love my plants- hate the pests that love my plants! 🌿💚

[@plantsbymelissa]

Aw thank you! I know!! The pests that come with having plants! 🙈🙈

[@SlitheringDemon]

Acaricide and miticides worked best for me. Neem spray and soap water only seemed to control them but the damage keeps happening.

I just put my grape leaf ivy outside! I grew it from a we baby, but I just can't deal anymore. Ivy's are so pron to them.

[@nofields9904]

So much helpful information. Thank you!

[@plantsbymelissa]

ahh this is so old haha. I use beneficial insects now for pest prevention :D

[@Ahlathein]

Thank you, Melissa. Can you keep the diluted solution in the spray bottle?

I just found spider mites in my rubber leaf tree cuttings. I am doing my research to try and find what works best to get rid of them. Do you still use AzaMax today to get rid of spider mites? If so, where do you buy it? It's currently out of stock on Amazon. Also do you rinse the plant after treating it or do you leave the product on the plant?

[@lisaanglim9588]

A few of the leaves is enough for treat, for me

[@andymujal6103]

Very nice looking rubber tree plant

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! 💚

Hey Malissa!! 🤗I’m dealing with spider mites right now…..so sad. 😢Do you change out your dirt. I’m noticing my soil is infested with spider mites so I’m changing out my dirt & now baking & sanitizing my soil! I can’t keep wasting all this good soil smh. So you never had to change the soil?

[@taraoatman4971]

Can I ask if you have any good online shops you have got plants from that came shipped really good or any shops you like

[@plantsbymelissa]

Hi, I usually get plants locally or private Facebook groups. I sometimes shop from Etsy but I usually type in a plant I’m looking for and browse through. ☺️
