My first successful VFT went through my learning curve and a 3 month dormancy. I had it outside for a few weeks and it was going to reward me with two flowers. I came to work today and discovered that the flower stalks and leaves were like buzz sawed, with the remains scattered about My other...

Spidermites, Spidermyte, Spider mites, Spidermights. (the above for the 'search' feature). I thought I was going to have to dump all of my CP'S and sterilize everything and start over, until I researched the critter and got some expert advice on this procedure.  I am so happy with the results...
