If you notice there is a significant number of plants in your planting area being troubled by spider mites, it indicates a potential situation of rapid spread and high density. In such cases, comprehensive pest control measures need to be implemented to effectively address the spider mite issue.
When dealing with a severe infestation of spider mites, consider the following steps:
- Remove severely affected leaves hosting spider mites, seal them in plastic bags, and dispose of them in a distant location.
- Spray Mr Ganick Dr Neem on the trunk, canopy, and soil to combat the spider mite infestation.
- Apply compost or leafy fertilizer (such as Mr Ganick 532 Organic Leafy Fertilizer) to encourage the growth of new leaves on plants. Once new leaves have developed, switch to Mr Ganick 549 Organic Flower Bloom & Stem Fertilizer.
When using Mr Ganick Dr Neem, please take note of the following:
- Shake the bottle before use.
- As pests tend to hide on the undersides of leaves, be sure to spray natural insect repellent on the leaf undersides.
- Avoid spraying in direct sunlight, especially during midday, as it may cause leaf burn.
- For preventive or mild cases, consider spraying once a week; for severe conditions, spray every three days.
In the presence of spider mites, the use of a natural insect repellent like Mr Ganick Dr Neem, containing neem oil, is recommended. Neem oil has insecticidal and repellent properties, serving as an effective deterrent against pests.
