Well, my goose is cooked if it is mites, as I frequently move things around to please the plants light-wise. The plants in the pics are long gone and also the victims of my clumsy attempt to raise their pH w/a lime mixture that caused the wicked plants to become coated w/beige gunk and made a mess of the tray. Turned out the prob. was not pH anyway. Most recently, many of the remaining plants are doing better when moved to a shelf with less light--my shelves are not the standard ones, and the lights, though weaker than shop lights, are closer to the plants.








S. Concinna--seeds of which I hope are lurking in the tererrium which I just discovered is as dry as a bone! Arrrgh--I give up!
