I don't know where they come from, but I know they don't like a moist

Thanks everyone for all the advice.
I have had to chuck out my c****bis plants. They just collapsed.
Maybe they didn't like the insecticide spray I used. I did also start
misting them, but they are now beyond revival! They were very badly
affected with the spider mite.
I have a few more seeds so will try again when the weather warms up.
Now I shall be reguarly inspecting my other houseplants with a
magnifier.
