The symptoms of their attacks certainly are right there in his photos! Jakub, take a look BELOW the leaves with a STRONG magnifying glass and keep us informed?? If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck---etc. etc etc. Julius +More >>The little spots from spider mite damage look different than that. Those spots aren't from spider mites, in my opinion. Further, I have had a serious spider mite infestation on Typhonium venosum immediately next to my sales stock of Amorph. albus. No damage at all to the albus even when significant webbing on Typhoniums. In my greenhouse the spider mites just don't ever bother the Amorphophalli. -Ken<< Susan B wrote: >Jakub, how bad was your mite infestation?
