I did .. hosed them off pretty well before I brought them in .. I too had a spider mite problem with the not hardy butterfly bush I am in love with.. but I kept them at bay by cutting it back .. once I was able to bring it outside.. I cut it completely back and neemed the heck out of it .. hit it pretty hard with the hose too before neem .. hopefully they will be ok.. the plectranthus been coming in for 3 years now.. going to start yours and new ones for me soon
Oh you know how in the past I bought either rooted or uprooted cuttings around February or so .. I bought a bunch of rooted ones 2 years ago .. and they came with thrips.. tossed most of what I had bought out in the snow.. they reimbursed me but .. ya never know
Last year was the worst for me. I had aphids, spider mites, scale, thrips and even a couple of mealy bugs. That's not to mention every year I bring in some new species of spider to live inside my house. This year I decided not to save so much.
