Hmmm, doing a bit of research and two things don't add up. The first is that Russet Mites usually start from the bottom of the plant and work their way up, not from the top as is in my case. And second, Russet Mite favour warm, dry conditions.... and not much of that going on here ATM (it has been fluctuating between cool/wet and hot/humid).
After doing a bit more research, I'm not quite so sure it even is mites now. I'm wondering if maybe it's something as simple as overwatering or pH issues or temp. fluctuations, etc, etc.
So tired now and gonna hit the sack but will continue to research tomorrow. In the meantime, anyone have any ideas what might cause curling like that (especially on the newer growth) and death of the new growth?
Is there like a feature of this board where if you add another reply within a certain time frame since your last post, it just adds it to your previous post?
Looks like there must be....
Or maybe if you post twice in a row, it just adds it to your previous post? Somebody else try it! Reply to this topic, then reply again.
