Default Re: Plant Care - Post mite infestation

How big is your plant? I have an E. Maurelii that had a bad infestation when I brought it in for the winter. Many of the leaves developed the same"burnt edges" I ended up cutting off all of the leaves but one and since it was small enough took it to the tub and sprayed off the remaining leaf (especially the underside) and stem for a few days straight. It is pushing new growth and no sign of infestation. It will surely need to be sprayed off again this winter but so far so good and no chemicals whatsoever.
