spider mites again... sorry

21 years ago

Hi all,

I think I have a spider mite infestation... very small brown critters on the undersides of the leaves?

Already read the last thread about it (26may '04; I am unable to find the one before it)... problem is, I do not think there is any "Bioform liquid" in Singapore. Also, as the plant is in a pot on the corridor outside my flat, spraying it with a high pressure jet of water is not possible --water and mites will land on whoever is walking downstairs! :p

If the mites hate seaweed, can I boil seaweed/kelp in water and spray this "extract" on them? Have been looking hard for kelp extract here... no success so far :(

Please help, this is my first, one, and only rose plant!

Thanks to all in advance.

Btw, Singapore is a tropical country, ave temp 28-32 degCelsius all year round (if temp drops below 21 degC it'll be v big news :) ...), humidity about 80%, all year round too. We just had a period of hot, dry weather but I did not dare to let water touch the leaves for fear of fungal diseases...
