Oh no!!! I just saw spider webs on my indoor hydrangea. She’s been THOUGHLY sprayed with insect acide and is now been moved outside. BUT she was about 2-3 feet from a grouping of other plants. How likely is it that my other plants will be infected do you think? There’s some basil and mint there as well as 2 orchids, my brand new baby string of turtles, tradescantia nanouck and a pepperomia and polka dot plant. I JUST let the nanouck and turtles out of quartaine last night too!!! Please help!!!

    There is a good chance they could be infected. I would spray ALL of them down just in case…

      Dang it!!! 😭😭😭. I checked them real good and didn’t see anything but I’ll spray them down just in case. Do you think the safer’s insecticide is. Safe for mint/basil that will be consumed and my string of turtles? (They’re so wee I’m worried! It’s only a 2.5” pot!)

      I’m assuming spider mites since they were really really fine webs. We have the odd spider here and there and their webs seem thicker. Didn’t see anything crawling but the webs we all about the dropped petals.

      Sounds like sooner mites. I would do some research to find an insecticide soap that is safe for your plants.
