Sorry to see that, I tried growing Salvia D. twice and both times they got infested by these little nastlings. One of the best ways is to use a lightweight pesticide such as Pyrethryn which is an all natural extract from tree roots. It works by breaking down the exoskeleton on the bug, basically dehydrating them to a critical stage. Payback!! since thats what they are doing to your plants at the moment... sucking the intercellular fluid from the leaves and stem, making it appear constantly wilted. :evil:

Here is a pic of what the spray looks like. Found it on the planet natural website. The smallest size is 8 oz. though which is a bit big. Also you should be able to find a similar product at a good greenhouse or garden store. Just tell them your insect situation and they should be able to hook you up for way less than the 13 bucks PN wants for it.

Peace

good luck, can also try neem oil, do 3 applications a few days apart. Combo up on the neem and pyrethym and that hopefully will do the trick. They are hard to kill totally, once you harvest do a thorough cleaning and bugbomb the place.

i actually found a solution right here on riu. a combo of tobacco, cyanne pepper, and a little dish soap as recommended by chimera. im letting it boil right now to stop the possibility of tobacco mosaic virus and then imma hit those little bastards with some good ol fashioned nicotine!

Hi KidCreole - you've got some good advice there regarding your spidermites. With regard to the drooping, how often and how much water are you giving her?
