After I noticed red spider mites on my Colocasia, I jumped the gun and sprayed all of the leaves with a spray that has Pyrethins 0.015%, Canola oil 1%. Within a few days, nearly all of the leaves started dying. :( I only have 4 leaves left, 2 of which are also badly damaged. I cut the burnt leaves off, leaving a 4" stem for each. I feel so bad. She was doing so well before I sprayed. Should I feed her to help her regenerate more leaves or just keep her moist and let her do the rest?
