I only use it on roses. It is all gone now and won't buy any

let me know.

Proper watering, cultivation, fertilization, and hygiene. If
you have mites on your bamboo, they are in some major type of
stress. Major.

Is that how you get rid of the bamboo mites on your boo?

I've never had mites on bamboo. However, I water properly when
needed, I cultivate properly, fertilize appropriately and clean up
broken, damaged or dead material from the ground. The plants are
also adequetly mulched. I'm not being a smart alec, but because I'm
organic, I have much less insect problems because I have green
lacewings, and many other beneficial insects.

How lucky you are to have mite free bamboo.
