This is the second year at the same time of year I'm pretty sure that my nanners have red spider mites. Basjoo,Veluntina,Cavendish (which is flowering. All my nanners are in pots. My Ice cream,Orinoco,Yellow are clean so far.

I trimmed off all the leaves but the newest ones which were pretty clean,and sprayed soapy water on the rest of the plants.

Is there certain times of the year when these bugs get on stuff whether healthy or not? All my plants are doing great!
