I started spraying the underside of the leaves yesterday with neem oil diluted in water (hubby bought the concentrated one - 70%). Prior to this I've wiped them with wet paper towel. This morning, hubby told me he can still see liiiiitle critters crawling under the leaves. I can't see a thing but I trust him. So this morning I sprayed them again (the leaves).
Last night I found the bloom fallen on one of the cycads pot (the plumie was higher than that cycad). So, is it normal for a bloom to last only for 2 days? That's how my bloom lasted...
Are the mites already too many and they're killing my plumeria??
The weird thing is that they don't have those nets I've seen in pics all over the internet. Leaves were clean on their underside, only the little dots were there but they are so tiny I can't really see what are they.
Today, 2 more leaves are ready to fall, yellow and dead...
What can I do more? Wipe the under-leaves with rubbing alcohol? Maybe rubbing with the concentrated neem oil? I really don't want to lose this plumie, it's my first one and a gift from my family for my birthday.
Thank you all again!
