Read more than the subject, Pam. The question was about spider mites, not
non-blooming sheaths.

Besides, despite my comment, it seems unlikely that temperature and humidity
are issues during a hurricane. Upon rereading the issue, I'd bet the bugs
were already present.

Again, "warmth and low humidity" might be true; however, sheaths often
don't
mature on immature plants.

What environmental problems attract spider mites?

I didn't seem to have a severe problem till i shuttered my orchids in
for
2
days while frances blew overhead.

Thanks,
