i use that schultz insecticidal soap hasent hurt mine and it kills everything from mites to white flys oh yeah man it looks like you need more light kinda spindly lookin

store-bought potting soil shouldn't have any pests in them as they're usually sterilized before bagging and i have never heard of anyone picking up pests from quality potting soil so i think your probs lie elsewhere...

180 watts of what kind of lights?

please don't say incandescents...but it appears your plant is light-starved...

i have (3) 60 watts flourescent lights..

i appreciate the responses here....

i am hearing that the plant looks light starved... will work on getting more light today. (i just transferred to my closet 5 days ago... it was in the window sill for about 6 weeks. And if it is light starved.. can i correct the problem or is it too late

can anyone tell me what stage my plant is in.. and what kind of light cycle i should place the plant on...

the schultz plant spray that i used yesterday seems to have solved the problem for the mites
