Re: Spider Webs on plants

>Not sure what the bugs are, can't see any of those, but my Banana Croton
>(according to name tag provided) has spider webs all over it.  

If the webs are very small and sort of in the nooks and crannies of the
plant, then I'd say that unfortunately you probably have spider mites.
I've sprayed and sprayed for them, but the only thing that really works
for me is a q-tip or cotton ball soaked with rubbing alcohol.  It kills the
mites, but evaporates before it can hurt the plant.  Fortunately, the
only plants of mine that get any mites are my diffenbachias.  For some
reason none of my other indoor plants get them.  The outdoor plants
are another story, though.

Look really closely at the kind of web it is before you spray or anything.
It's possible it may just be small spiders.  I have a lot of teeny spiders
in my house and they love building homes in my plants.  As long as 
they *stay* little I don't mind.
