REd spider mites in August?

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!

Must just be the dry air,maybe if I water them more intense they will go away. I do water the heck out of them as it is.

Re: REd spider mites in August?

So pretty much spray my leaves off often? Is it more common on potted plants then plants in the yard?

I find it more common where there is less air circulation ,and crowded plants

Are you using non-organic fertilizers?
