I thought this situation was under control but apparently it is not.
I have a young potted musa basjoo that was too little to leave outdoors in Upstate New York this winter so its been living in my living room. A few weeks ago I posted here that I was having mite problems and it was suggested that I flush out the dirt in the shower - which I did 3 times - and use a soap spray and maybe an alcohol/water spray - I do that everyday. I did all that and cut off the brown leaves. The plant instantly acted better and had a new leaf and another one on the way.
I've been checking the leaves everyday since. Two of the leaves are droopy and have millions of small brown spots on the undersides http://www.victorianpride.com/basjoo/leaf.jpg and white things http://www.victorianpride.com/basjoo/whitethings.jpg. I wash those white things off everyday.
