+Kreatyve Laydiiee I just got a Blues Blue spruce and I Love it and it is a small one and I noticed it had some web on it.I thought it was just like a spider web so I let it be,because I knew spiders eat other harmful bugs to plants.But now I have noticed a small section on my tree is brown and the needles are shrivled and dried.So I was thinking it might be spider mights.I was gonna try this method I just learned from you,so I guess I would take the paint brush to the branches and the needles??

Same. I’ve got a huge infestation on my patio garden and this will be a pain but at least it gives me a good gameplan for the plants I really want to keep.

If you use lemon dish soap it will have linalool and limonene, those two components of lemon oil repell and kill insects. It is actually used in comercial insecticides for plants and dogs (like flea treatments). You can also soak the peels of oranges and lemons in alcohol over night and use that.

I'm not sure why, but this really feels like a spa day for the plant. Hair, mani-pedi, facial, deep tissue massage, the type that you feel like a new person after. But like, for that plant. I never knew I could be jealous of a plant.

I have a ton of alleegies bug bites serous problems for me causing a severe reaction and eay too much Histamine in my body. I buy a lot of rubbing alcohol. I feel everything that touches me.

Thank u sweetie!!!😍🥰😍🥰

Thank you for this video on how to get rid of spider mites! As for the spray bottles, I've been through quite a few and I've learned that they do not do well with added substances like soap or non-dissolvable spices like cinnamon when using basic spray bottles from a Walmart or Dollar Tree because they are so cheaply made. For remedies like this, you'd need a pretty decent pesticide type of spray bottle that's more heavy-duty. These are likely on Amazon, but a hardware store with a gardening section should have them as well.

I like the Pasteurized soil. I'm curious if she's ever been a mycology hobbyist (fungi). Similar techniques are used to clean substrates for mushroom fruiting. An ideal temperature is 140 degrees held for minimum 30 minutes to destroy pathogens and pests while leaving beneficial bacteria intact. I used a "Pot-In-Pot" method, putting soil inside a pot and lowering it a few inches into a larger pot of water that was heating VERY SLOWLY. Latent heat is difficult to predict, so slow heating is necessary not to exceed 170 degrees F... which is TOO HOT. Once peak temperature is reached, remove the heat source and allow the pots to cool naturally overnight.

This is a fabulous video. The only thing that gets frustrating is I feel like no one ever shows the process on more complicated plants with many leaves or smaller, danty leaves. 😬❤️ Thanks for the video!!

Great video and excellent attention to detail. It is end of summer (the dry season) in northern Ca. and my Brugmansias are covered. I just came in from spraying them with Dr. Bronner's Hemp-Peppermint pure castle soap. It is pricier than most dish soaps and has a strong "minty" smell but I wash down the plants after a couple hours. The brush is a great idea. I have cattleya scale on some of my orchids and that is the tool that can get into those tight crevices. I think the detergent lets the water penetrate the pests so they drown. The alcohol lets them die happy. I bet a lot of people are cleaning their houseplants during this covid outbreak. Thank you.

Took all the notes uv suggested and i appreciated all ur information. Great looking plants. Thanks for putting up ur video:)

Thank you so much for this detailed video because I felt like throwing the whole sweet potato plant out. But how you did it gives me some hope. And restoring the soil by using hot water is one for the books. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. ❤

Love your Amate it’s so beautiful 😍 Can’t believe you got that Anthurium at Walmart, what a find. Your pic of spider mites made me cringe. When I bring a new plant home, in goes the systemic insecticide. Your way is cheaper, may to give it a try next time. 😀 Are you from NC, what area?

Thank you for this I personally would do it outside but I get spider mites outside (i live in the woods) and my plants would get them(birsofparadise) and they always come back i will be doing this outside this summer!

Excellent video. Thank you very much. Very well done. I learned so much. Continue the good work. Also, thanks for heads up tip on miticide sprays and the fact that neem oil stinks. Good to know before using indoors.

I am new to your channel and very impressed. This was another great video!

Most all of my plants are outside so I just treat them with a systemic product like Bifenthrin. This is the same chemical that is in the Rose care isle. Pour in the soil. The plant will drink that water and when the bug bites the plant it will die.

Hello! First off, I would just like to say thank you so so much for this in-depth video. Seeing the process really showed me that defeating a spider mite infestation is no easy feat, but is still possible. You just gained a new subscriber! But I would like to ask: do you have an alternative tip for plants with way smaller and fragile leaves? I have a beautiful Yangya bonsai that sadly got infested with these mites 😔 I'd definitely try your mixture but my bonsai's leaves are as small as pinky fingernails and as thin as onion skin, so I think the brush method would tear off a lot of leaves. Do you think hosing it with high-pressure would do? Thank you very much!

Great video! My mind was blown by the boiling water to new soil thing too! Thank you!!

New subscriber here 👋! Great video thank you sooo much for sharing this! I just introduced spider mites into my grow room from bringing in some outside plants for the winter 🤦‍♀️ I KNEW BETTER I should have checked them!!
