Re: Spider Mites?
I’ve tried a spinosad product already, only really worked for a few days. I don’t want to spray every week. Once they returned the spinosad was pretty useless too.

Re: Tiny banana pup removal
I think it’s unrelated to the sucker but does anyone know what’s going on here? Two leaves at once and the one is reallly skinny.
