Handi-wipes?
Would handi-wipes be a potential threat to my banana plant...to me it seems the best way too keep the leaves mite free...every few days jyst go over leaves and stem with a lightly alcohol-scented handi-wipe...then discard...very e-z...or is this a trial-n-error situation?

Re: Handi-wipes?
Maybe if you tried the Huggies alcohol free wipes it might be ok. I would test it on one leaf first.

Re: Handi-wipes?
I don't think the alcohol is going to damage the plant and it will evaporate right away.
I actually think I recall someone on here, a nursery gardener with some experience saying they use an alcohol spray to get rid of a lot of pest problems... here is the thread... Ants on my corms
