I sure hope that’s the case! The plants don’t have any noticeable damage besides some very very light calcium def on one or two of them. I have looked under leaves as good as I could the past few times that I watered

You're both right..there are two mites in that picture..the two-spotted spider mite and the beneficial 'Western predatory mite'Those pics are spider mites. Was giving an example of what they look like.
Yeah I think they also called one a white mite? Maybe another name for one of them idk.You're both right..there are two mites in that picture..the two-spotted spider mite and the beneficial 'Western predatory mite'
The predatory mite is attacking the spider mite..and will also eat the spider mite eggs (in the pic).
Sounds like root aphids. I’m battling them as well. I think I have them finally pushed back cuz I don’t see them congregating on the outside of my pot anymore. My Bennie’s seem to be winning the battle. Rove Beetles definitely helped me big timeActually haven’t seen any on the plants themselves. Only one on the stalk of one plant. But hundreds congregate around the outside of the pots
Where did you get you’re rove beetles? And what was the visual affect on the plants that the aphids we’re doing?Sounds like root aphids. I’m battling them as well.

By threw me I mean I was not sure if it was miles. The 2nd set was definitive for the Mimes and I admit I missed the victim in the shot. Great job!You're both right..there are two mites in that picture..the two-spotted spider mite and the beneficial 'Western predatory mite'
