RED SPIDER MITES PLANT DAMAGE
Little
yellowish-white speckles on leaves. With large infestations, you might
find a web covering the plant tops and crawling with spider mites.
Leaves will eventually brown and die, as the mites suck the plant
fluids.
INSECT APPEARANCE
On
the underside of leaves, you will find tiny red mites, about the size
of a pinhead. You will see them scurrying around and may also find round
translucent, white to amber mite eggs.
TREATING LIGHT INFESTATION
Try raising the temperature and humidity. Spider mites prefer cool dry conditions.
