Problems
Prevention and Control : keep weeds down and use sort on windows to keep them out . bump off or discard overrun industrial plant , keep them aside from non - infested industrial plant . Trap with sensationalistic sticky cards or take reward of natural enemies such as predatory hint . Sometimes a good steady shower bath of water will wash them off the plant . Consult your local garden centre professional or county Cooperative propagation position for legal chemic recommendations . Pest : Spider MitesSpider mitesare small , 8 legged , spider - like creatures which thrive in hot , dry conditions ( like heated up star sign ) . Spider mites feed with piercing mouth parts , which cause plants to appear jaundiced and flecked . Leaf drop and plant life demise can fall out with large infestations . Spider mite can multiply quickly , as a female person can position up to 200 egg in a life twain of 30 day . They also produce a web which can cover infested leave and flowers .
Prevention and Control : Keep weeds down and off infested plants .

Leaves will often turn yellow or dark-brown , curl up , and drop off . newfangled foliage emerges crinkled and distorted . Fruit will be dwarfed and often deteriorate ahead of time .
Prevention and Control : implant tolerant varieties and space plants properly so they receive adequate light and tune circulation . Always water from below , keeping water off the foliage .
