I hope all of this helps someone avert their own disaster.

Anyhow: Non-AVs. I know for a fact that Columnara can get them. In fact, it is possible that the Columnara 'Sundowner' cutting I received was the vecotr of my Cyclamen mites. Oh, guessing from the name, (really observant fellow I am) I treated my Cyclamen too. They are seedlings I grew.
Streptocarpella saxorum and Sinningia tubiformis seemed never to exhibit signs of damage and grew normally. But they get treated, too.

I will continute to spray for a few more weeks, perhaps differently with any information I get from you fine folks on this thread.

I guess I'm not doing installments. Now is the time, I reckon.

After a spraying. First new decent leaves.
