Hi Clare,

I know it's been a long time since you posted on this thread, I just received a Stemmadenia galeottiana from Top Tropicals last week and went outside today to look at it, it looks so healthy, but upon looking under the leaves I see it is infested with something I've never seen before....you talked about yours being infested with mites.....do these look like mites to you? If so did anything work to get rid of them. I have sprayed with Insecticidal soap twice and tried blasting them off with a hose but they are stubborn.

Anyone else had trouble with this plant? I supposedly live in the ideal climate here in Florida so I'd really like to keep it alive.
