Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm spraying with neem and then half strength Bayer rose systemic (which treats thrips/mites/mealies etc)
I'm mixing soap with the neem so that it acts like a 'spreader/sticker' surfactant.

The good thing is (trying to see the silver lining here) that I'm quickly getting through the AV learning curve with this forum. I've learned several reasons why my AV's haven't survived in the past and why I'm killing them now. I'm pretty sure that I can save the ones that I drowned earlier.

Going to play with my bargain violets today. Get them all nipped and tucked and sprayed.

Ali, if you have time, can you tell me which ones on my list of new kids that are trailers. I don't want to divide them if they are supposed to be with multiple crowns.

I'll post them over in the 'Bargain Violet' thread if I haven't already. I tried to get most of the info via the web regarding the reg #, hybridizer etc. Just not sure which are trailers or not.
Thanks again! Glad to have this forum to boo hoo to!

p.s. Here's one more 'pest' I'm fighting! She decided to take a nap on my propagation mat. I plugged it in to warm it up because it wouldn't un-curl and was stiff. While it was warming up, she curled in a ball and took a nap! Ali, believe it or not, her name is Rosie Baby!
