# I am trying to propagate a bunch of Sunpatients from my mother plant.…

I am trying to propagate a bunch of Sunpatients from my mother plant. The propagations are growing rather quickly but the foliage looks pretty rough with a bunch of spots. Any advice or treatments?

The spots could be mites ! If they are use neem oil and if they are in the soil diatomaceous earth (the pet safe natural kind ) (ps. Neem oil might not work right away so reapply a lot )

Until the issue is gone

Definitely spidermites! I see em now. How many days do I need to wait inbetween applications? I applied Spinosad yesterday as precaution and saw a bunch of spider mites today so I used Garden Safe insecticidal soap… kinda worried I may have over done it but they are getting eaten pretty badly.

Had to completely cut back the mother plant to stems to try and save her. Hoping rest of my plants got separated in time. Rest are now indoor plants😂
