Subject: Interesting Greenhouse result

Hi all:

I had an interesting result with my greenhouse, orchids, and CPs. four
weeks ago, I was facing a moderate infestation of scale and mites. I chose
to give my CPs and orchids a bit of a rest from watering, and harldy watered
anything for about a month. The CPs and orchids are fine, having started
watering them again. And the scale and mites have largely disappeared. The
greenhouse interior has been decently warm at night this winter with a small
space heater. Does anyone know why this result occurred? Shouldn't the
scale and mites still be giving me a problem?
