I recently bought some Ortho Ecosense insecticidal soap, because I had a spider mite and leaf miner problem. I was trying to prevent a small problem from becoming a big one but instead I curled up my babies...:dunce: All the leaves are still green, but the small leaves are curled up from the sides, the new growth is twisted now and I'm worried it won't recover.
Can anybody help me please??

did you spray it in direct sunlight? or directly on your lights? if yes that could probably the problem. soap + heat on your leaves = not a good combo. thats my guess. if yes, give her a shower tomorrow and see how it goes, but you can never fix the leaves that was already been damage. when i do this i tried doing it early in the morning like a few hours before sun rise, and i bath them before i spray them with insecticides

I bathed them before I sprayed them, and I did it at night, I think the soap + heat did the deed. I recently bathed them again, and some of the leaves are starting to unfold, I think they will recover but its going to take forever...
