Re: Dwarf Banana Stunted Growth
Ok,so I think I have identified all the pests/insects.
1) Fungus gnats: The flies caught around the pot and the sluggish white larvae on the saucer.
2) Spring tails: The small white crawling creatures on the saucer, that I thought were Fungus Gnat larvae but later changed my mind because these had legs.
3) Orabitid Turtle Mites: The reddish turtle looking insect found on the saucer.
I believe the last two are harmless and the first one is my real issue.
I attached 2 photos. The first photo is what I believe to be fungus gnat larvae. Elongated white body and very sluggish. Its enclosed within a green circle.
The second photo is what I believe to be Orabitid Turtle Mites and Spring Tails. They are encircled in blue circles. The Orabitid is on the left while the Spring Tails are on the right. If anybody agrees or disagrees can you post a response please.
