Default Re: Overwintering Siam Ruby

I Keep my Siam Ruby in side for the winter i always spray for mites before i bring them in i do this at 5 day intervals for 3 cycles then i bring them in here in the desert mites are a madger problem the are hard to get rid of sop is not an option i must use insecticide a two times the recommended rate because at normal strength they will not be controlled then i respray in Jan. they always come back

i Keep the plant in as hot a part of the house as possible i try to go for a place were the day time temps are in the 80s which is not hard for me its extremal sunny here even in the winter time the plants do vary well and grow just about as fast as they do here in the summer

As well as my Siam Ruby grows its never put out a pup for me which i think is odd as every else seams to have pups coming out there ears my avatar is a picture of my plant clearly its healthy go figure!
