little white bug

lee_0

Hi, i was just talking 2 someone in the chat room.
I was asking if i should feed my Serissa Seroides as it is flowering at the moment, unfortunately they were unable to help me.
I have only had it a month or so, i brought it for very little money, after i got it i found out they are quite hard to keep.
The person in the chat room advised me to check the roots and so on, on closer inspection i saw a little white mite,(spider mite) im not sure if it is a spider mite, has anyone got any tips for getting rid of the little buggers.
Thanks very much.

Lee,
If you can get your hands on some Malathion it will do the trick if it's not spider mites. I had something similar and it took care of the problem.

Kelthane is the best, but's it's no longer available here in the USA. Perhaps some of the other members can tell you what's second best. There are other chemicals that will work, just not as well.
