my schefflara plant is turning yellow and losing its leaves! I see the tiny webs of the I think red spider mites or whatever they are called what can I do to save my plant and get rid of these bugs?
Thanks Kara
Schefflara plant
Happily, spider mites are not a death warrant. Depending upon the size of your plant, stick it in the sink or bathtub and blast the mites off with warm water. You might have to repeat a couple times. Spider mites love dusty plants. Give all your houseplants regular baths and they will be healthier and happier. Can you imagine trying to photosynthesize through all that dirt?
