Re: Mites in my banana plants
I am going to treat mine tomorrow with some neem oil. Never used it before but heard great things about it.
One thing about mites is you have to be persistent. After you treat them you should do couple more treatments to take care of the eggs that hatch. I sprayed mine every 3-4 days
For 3 treatments. Going to apply some neem oil then just keep spraying wiping them down with soapy water. They can get out of hand really fast. They almost killed my dwarf Orinoco last year.
Make sure after you spray them next day or 2 wipe them down so u can tell if they are going away and not just dead ones.
