Yellow spots on Amorpho. alba

From: "Julius Boos" <ju-bo at msn.com> on 2007.07.29 at 15:48:39(16012) Dear Jakub, A friend alerted me to what, in retrospect, is probably your problem---spider mites! Examine CLOSELY the undersides of the leaves w/ a magnifying glass for TINY, almost microscopic living beings (mites, which are Arachnids), as the yellow spots on upper sides of the leaves are distinctive of the damage done BELOW the leaves by these feeding pests!

From: "Jakub T." <yq-email at o2.pl> on 2007.07.30 at 08:50:10(16023) The mites infestation wasn't as big as on nearby T. venosum, but there were few of them on this Am. albus too. But that was before I sprayed them with acaricide. I'll try to find some shady spot for the plant and water it more often. Thank you for all your answers. -- Best regards Jakub +More Julius Boos pisze: > Dear Jakub, > > A friend alerted me to what, in retrospect, is probably your > problem---spider mites!

If you subsequently see tiny specks moving on the white field then you know you have a problem.
