Spiders vs. spider mites
Comments (4)Carla: Yes, spider mites like apple and plum. In my greenhouse they like plums and pluots more than any other fruit. Also have had them on peach and citrus. Less so on apricot and cherry. None so far on grapes. I haven't tried the beneficals but the new miticides are very effective. As mentioned above, you can see the mites with a small hand lens. I usually spot them by the bronzing that appears on the upper leaf surface. The Fruitnut...See MoreAfrican spider plant repels spider mites on roses
Comments (10)I remember seeing this post or one similar to it a few months ago, and I did a bit of research, but I think that the African Spider Plant is NOT the one that most of us have grown as house plants at some point, and I also think that the number of them that would have to be planted in/around/among the canes of the rose would be an impossible and improbable task. The facts are correct (thank you Henry), but the implementation isn't actually going to do any of us much good.... IF I remember correctly, and now (I know I should have done it before I started this post) I'm going to trot off and do that research again.... Susan...See Morespiders or spider mites?
Comments (10)Lots of spiders have willy-nilly webs with little or no obvious (to human) symmetry. When I take the dog out for his morning run early in the morning before the dew is burnt off, they magically appear in the evergreen boughs and all over my veggie garden in the indentations in the soil. I'm talking hundreds of them before the walk is over if I'd care to count. When the dew is gone, they are inconspicuous. I give thanks for all those wonderful predators out there waiting for bug meals. Webs floating in the air is just exactly what Rhizo said they were spiderlings ballooning out from their nests to new territory. Natural event. You'll see the stipling before you notice any webs from spider mite populatons. If you suspect spider mite infestation and it's heavy enough to cause webbing. Knock the branches off over a piece of white paper or your hand, and look for almost microscopic dots moving around. Those are spider mites. Identify your pest before you spray anything but water....See MoreSpider mites, Spider mites...
Comments (13)I had them once on a ever green and before I notice a 2 ft area was dead. I asked a nursery man about it and he said you can't see spider mites. He said to put a white sheet of paper under the area and shake the plant, then rub your fingers across the paper. If there are blood smears they are spider mites....See Morehenry_kuska
