hi peoples, any one know if spider mite still feed after cropping? just found a touch on an outdoor plant,im guessing/hoping the plants dry out too much for them to feed? any info always helpful peace.Rastaman.

they will feed till there is no juices for them

Spider mites tend to be worse in dry weather, at least it seems that way in my yard. I think regular rains keep them washed off the plants. A very simple way to get rid of a lot of them is to just hose off the plant. Try to hit both the tops and bottoms of the leaves.

i was wrong,no spider mite after all,it was a bit of bud rot im putting down to how much rain we`ve had in the uk lately,the white "webbing" was mould.oh well at least its easier to treat than spider mite.
