I have little brown spots on my ficus leaves (not the little white ones that people say are supposed to be there) and it seems to be spreading even though I remove them as soon as they show up. Is it spider mites? I looked this up on a few boards and no one really comes right out and says what they are, unless I'm missing something. __________________ Noobified!

2 pics posted.. circled some of the spots in the 2nd pic.

I'm in Ohio.. They're indoor trees, but I have decent ventilation and humidity.

Is it spider mites? Because I think there might be mites on some of my plants. I hear thats very common for indoor trees and plan on purchasing some insecticide.

You'll be amazed what a little fresh air can do. Indoors the bugs have nowhere to go. The ventilation and humidity may be acceptable for people, but it's probably on the arid and stuffy side for plants. Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?
