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.

It has nothing to do with luck. Did you not just read the method I
use to make healthy the plants, which are no longer attractive to
pest insects and mites? Or, did you discount it all so you can
rationalize your use of pesticides which are outrageously toxic?

Hmmm.

I do all those things.
