Hi everyone!I just received beautiful roses for Easter. I could plant them outside or keep them inside too. The thing is, I've been told red spiders are very attracted to those roses and, if I would love to keep the flowers inside to enjoy their beauty as much as possible, I don't want spiders in my house!! Beurk!Do you have a healthy and natural trick to avoid the red spiders?Thank you!Happy Easter! :)
The are spider mites. Neem oil works very well on them or you can use Safer's brand insecticidal soap. Both are enviro, pet and people safe.
Hi, you can mix some rubbing alcohol with one part water and spray the leaves or try liquid dish soap and water. It works too.
these are spider mites. the above works well@!
I don't know but all I can say is Don't touch unknown creatures. Never know if it will bite or sting & a chance of being poisonous
Spider mites. Rose bush will die soon if not treated asap. Do not put near any other plants! Soap and water will work if used properly and spray often till mites are gone.
Don't use the soap/water unless you have to. When insects are present on your plants, treat them. Used to happen to me in the winter with some of my plants.
