Summary
[edit]| Description |
Quarantine: I spent four weeks gradually poisoning my pots to the ultimate level with everything available, but every time after giving my Lithops a dose, the spider mites emerged again a few days later. They seemed to have a hide-out somewhere in the pot. I realized that I had only one chance to do more against them: It was October now and my Litops won't need any water until next year. So I put all of them out of the soil and washed them thoroughly, whether they had mites crawling on them or not and threw away all of the used soil mixture. I discovered white nests sticked to the roots of the infested plants and brushed them off. After that I soaked all plants with Imidacloprid (Bayer Lizetan spray) and put them onto lids of cookie tins. Now I left them in out-of-soil quarantine for two months, giving them nothing but air and light. I had to wait until the last mite hatched from its possibly remaining egg to die outside. I lost some Lithops which sidewalls were damaged by the mites too much. They could not keep their water and dried. Some others were attacked by fungus because the total absence of soil probably lowered their immunity. |
