Well, It's hard to say, But I'm pretty sure we've got spider mites. Strange yellowish brown "freckles" are all over the leaves, and my room mate swore he could see little reflective web type things. SO NO PEST STRIPS AND NEEM OIL??? [attachment=o112774]

I hate the fuckers! If you thought you saw webs take a misting bottle and very gently mist around the stem. If you have webs You'll see them. I had feckles everywhere but I wasn't missing chunks of leaves like that, even the leaves they killed just got freckles on top of freckles till the whole thing was yellow with green freckles then they got crispy from the edges i evenly. But I'm a newby. Either way I wish you luck.

Ok I took a second look and saw that pic 2 is the flipside of pic 1. I don't think it's mites.
The way mites work is they live under the leaf and from under the leave suck the juices out of the cells within the leaf. Then they move to a new ramdom spot and suck again.

Look at my post! I just had mite and got rid of them with the help of neem oil and stinky attic! She is the pest goddess! Take a look at the underside of the leaves! You'll see the critters crawlin'! Sound as if to me,you got the freaker's!

if it is mites and your going to use a no pest strip then neem oil isnt really neccissary but can be used as an extra precaution. You shouldbe able to see mites on hte plant little specales leaves curling from underneath and webs.

I got a no pest strip in the room too! The neem oil and the bath I gave the plant before using the neem oil,was the trick!

low, low humidity can draw out buggers, so beware. The NO and heaven forbid pest strips can clear out pretty much anything.

PS. pets around your plants can cause problems if you have one.
