# Just found an explosion of spider mites on one of my miniature rose…

_Geplaatst door super hans op 2023-11-18_

Just found an explosion of spider mites on one of my miniature rose plants… only just looked at it the other day and didn’t see any sign of pests and now a ton this morning out of nowhere! I was ready to let this one go anyway as it’s looking pretty rough now but still a sad sight to see

Something that helps with bugs with me, is soaking banana peels in water, and using it as a spray that helps grow roots and get rid of pests

OMG! How unique! I love the idea! What ratio do you use? Thank you! 😊🤗

Honestly, the spray got kind of bad so I just ended up watering my plants with the banana water
