Hi
I have got a couple of Neps lowii & ovata which have had more than their share of problems since I got them in March
Now they are producing rather weak thin growth and I can see with an eye glass these tiny red mites everywhere!! They are NOT red spider mite however. In the UK there is a very limited range of pesticides now available, and these have no effect on these sapping pests. I have picked a few off with a small brush dabbed in Drosera mucus!! But I am sure there are loads out of sight in the growing point. Any ideas how to get rid of them for good??
cheers
