Dear All,
I wonder if any of you could help me; some of my Venus Flytraps have
succumbed to
what looks like tiny red Spider mites. They are smaller than a full stop on
a page and move
around very slowly. The main symptoms appear to be a yellowing of the
leaves, brown
spots beneath the teeth margins of the trap giving the leaves a speckled
appearance.

Quite a lot of plants are affected (100+) and any advice is well
appreciated. I sprayed
the plants with 'Malathion' at normal dosage last night, but the mites
still seem to be
very much alive.

Please bear in mind I live in the UK and only really have access to UK
available solutions!

Best Regards

Mike King
