| Spider mites
Hi guys,
I know you must be tired of hearing about my sharrybaby but here goes. It gets sun but in a south eastern window sill that is shaded-not enough to get sunburn. I purchased it online and it came robust, fat psuedobulbs and six strong new growths which are growing nicely however....it had red spider mites. At the time i repotted, washed with lots of water and cleaned leaves, but didn't treat with any chemicals-i have not used any chemicals on any of my orchids so far. Take a look at the attached pic. Did eggs hatch? Look at all the loss of color in regular circular patches in the leaves-Spider mite damage? I've also noticed slight pitting/stippling on a nice phal and phaph in the same room.
Can you guys please tell me if Safters soap is a good option here? I want to treat my plants. Also, is it okay to treat the potting medium with Safter's soap spray? So i guess my question is, what can i use to get rid of spider mites and little critters in the potting medium?
Thanks |
