Re: Kitty's mites

Right Andrea. We have the same product here. However, I've found it to be a good product but not as good as labelled. Never use it in the sun either because it will burn the plants.

David, at my local Nursery, where I teach, they use a product called
Greenlight that is supposed to be a fungicide, miticide, and insecticide all
in one. Guess what the active ingredient is.......Neem. Buy some Neem. And
Pam's Kelp mix seems to work too. Although she was quite correct in using
very little. I burned the crap out of some plants by using too much.

You have a miticide??? What kind is it Kitty? You can adequately get rid
of them by forcefully spraying them with water. Do it a couple three days
in a row and that should take care of it. The live on the undersides of
the
leaves so you have to get the hose at that kind of angle.
