Hey guys,
Remember this pic? The random pattern I was noticing on the leaf??
Today I was looking closer at my big ceph. A couple of days ago...it almost dried to a crisp when I forgot to water it. Anyways....it came back after watering...opening all pitchers.
Today I notice a small pitcher that is starting to form...and see like little maroon dots on it. I was very suspicious...tried touching them with foreceps...they didn't move.
I kept looking for more. I spotted a leaf with this:
DAMN IT!!! how the hell did I get spider mites F****!!!! And on top of this...ontario pesticide ban. Just perfect! Just freaking perfect!!
Just when I thought that the scale issue is going down. I see this. The plant is like 4 feet away from my nep enclousure. WHo knows? Maybe spider mites are in there as well. hundreds of dollars....alll freaking down the drain.
Now on april 22, ontario has enacted a new ban on chemical pesticides, insecticides etc etc. Only things left are neem oil and soap solutions.
darn it!!!!!!!!!!
what should I do?
thanks,
Varun
