How to control Spidermite
Share
Have you ever just looked at your plants and think, hmm somethings not right, it's not looking the greatest. It's looking a little insipid, not it's usual sparky green self. The watering is on point, the soil quality is spot on, fertilising is up to date.... Something is just not right but you can't see any direct reasons why it is struggling.
It could be Spidermite.
Spidermite is a teeny weeny little red mite that generally lives on the underside of plants. It may often create a web like substance on the underside of the leaves.
Generally I will get Spidermite on my mint varieties but more recently I've had an outbreak on my pineapple sage and generally all over my lettuce in our Aquaponics.
I kind of just ignored it in the past, only for my plants to just struggle through but this time I really wanted to get it under control, so I asked my gardening community what were their go to methods for eradicating this little nuisance bug in an earth friendly/organic kind of way.
