Erick, even of they die, all is not lost. There are so many brugs to grow. Losing your first 4 is nothing! They are so easy to grow, you will just need to try, try again! And they grow so fast, you will not lose much in time either. Another thing you might try if the plant is big enough, is snip off the top of the brug. If it is big enough, it will put out side growth at the leaf nodes.

Funny, Brugie, I used Avid last summer and it didn't kill them totally. I should try it again at the next outbreak. Did you spray the entire leaf surface, or does it act like a systemic and even if you miss a little area, it still gets them all? I can never seem to get all of theleaves. I should strip them down and only leave a few top leaves before I spray I guess.


I wonder if you got a bad batch of neem oil, Erick. Do yours look like this? This is broad mites.
