Re: We need a trillion more indoor plants.
Trying, trying, trying. My banana and fig tree in my room are under attack by spider mites that crept in through windowsill cracks, thanks to the hot, dry weather (about 30-35 C now), and I spray them with water, because I read that humidity helps to keep spider mite numbers low. I didn't think they'd eat the fig, but they are...and eating it alive. I see leaf scarring already. Are there any plants impervious to these damned mites? I'm trying to sprout some seeds for oregano and rosemary next to my other babies, and this isn't good. It puts my entire "mug garden" idea at risk. Maybe I need neem oil. I already know that spider mites will eat any and all herbs I grow.
I'll probably get another ficus fig for my desk or two, once I get things (and pests) sorted out.
