'Pam',

I am really at a loss here and somewhat annoyed to say the least.

You started off the site by asking ' Where does the red spider mite
come from?' and nearly everyone who has contributed immediately took off
about glaucoma without apparently giving any thought to the fact that
you are a mature woman with access to all the medical science which is
at your disposal.

I would simply ask posters, and this is purely my strongly held personal
view, to read the heading and concentrate on the issue rather than
transgress, as in this case, into the realms of the ophthalmic world
where the world's leading specialists abound and to which Pam has
undoubted access.

Now, can anyone help to eradicate the red spider problem?

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

I have been caring for some seedlings of a plant I should not be
growing and it looks as though "someone up there" has decided I should
not grow them, even as a curiosity! (The substance is supposed to be
good for glaucoma which I have!!!)
They were looking OK before Christmas but when I came home after a
week away they looked a bit sad. I thought they were dry or cold or
both. Deterioration continued and then a maginfying glass showed me
it is red spider mite.
I have had this problem on other plants, but not for at least 3 years.
Where have they come from? None of the other plants nearby, in my
living room, are affected. They don't fly like carrot fly do they?
