What is most effective for spider mites on the Impatience plant?



Begin with an attack with the kitchen sink sprayer, or a spray nozzle on
the outside hose. If they come back, put 2-3 drops of dish soap in a quart
of water and soak the plant completely with it. Always use poison as your
last resort. Always.


Will try the soap. Just hosing plants don't get rid of them, they come rigt
back. Plants are in small greenhouse and mites are problem all winter long.
