You didn't offend me. You offended the way nature works by poisoning
without the slightest bit of knowledge of what or why you wanted to
kill this mystery thing, insect, mite, using some broad, carcinogen.
It's probably not listed for use on spider mites anyway. A good way
to kill plant is to use poisons improperly. If you read the label
you'd know you should first identify the problem. I gave you a
reasonable answer by telling you to spray the undersides of the
foliage with forceful water. That's all you needed to do for
"potential" spider mites. They are most likely the only animal you'd
not be able to see with the naked eye without a 10x eye loop.

Then you put Ironite in the container. What was that for? I'm not
offended, you wasted my time because while i gave you methods you did
what you wanted to do anyway. Why ask, is my point.

I am glad you weren't offended. I did get hands on help and there were no
spider mites, as I suspected. As you know it is very hot in Tx. and I took
someone's advice and moved the plant to a more filtered location. You have
been a big help and I am sorry I provoked you to be rude as I am sure you
are usually a very helpful person whose time should never be wasted. As I
stated my, goal was to save the plant and I think I did. Thanks again for
all the helpful impute.

What a bunch of dooblas. The whole purpose of a forum is to share information and help. If you are a member of this forum and think it is a place to vent your obvious aire of over importance? You are wrong. The curling of the leaves that she is speaking of is not a result of over watering or under watering. There is definitely something going on with these plants that might either be disease related; or bug related. I too have had this issue and am still trying to get it under control. If anyone with intelligence and NO igo can address this issue without malice, it would be greatly appreciated. My Angels are Brugs and NOT planted in containers. They are planted in the yard and get adequate sun and water every day. Should one of you brainiacts decide to give helpful feedback it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise you should resort to NOT replying to someone who obviously has an issue concerning their plants that they so dearly want to thrive and flourish.
