Hey guys, I've had my plant for a couple of months now ( Proberly 2-4 ) and now the leaves have started dying. When I look closely all the leaves have faded white dots everywhere and some of my leaves are turning yellow and a couple are even completely dying. I have no money and I have hardly any resorces. I think I have Spider mites.

I've mad a simple thing with just Water and alittle chilli sauce. It's attracted ants. But there going crazy becasue of the spice.
I'd really appriciate help, This is my first succesful plant and it has only started getting haires. So please help!

FOR THE MITES:
Making the Calicleaner


1.) Get a sauce pan - fill with one pint of water - put on lowest flame possible (do not boil !!!).

2.) Chop 4 -5 Habanera peppers fine. Chop open seeds and central membranes, as the power lies there.

3.) Simmer chopped peppers for 20 minutes - making sure not to boil (you will destroy the active proteins).

4.) When you put your head over the pan and the wispy-steam stings your eyes, the Calicleaner is ready.

5.) Pour the Calicleaner through a fine mesh strainer - a little fine grit is OK - let cool in a clean bowl.

6.) Pour room temperature contents in a mister spray bottle. You are ready to apply.

HOW TO APPLY Calicleaner

1.) Put on gloves, and wear a mask, or at least put a bandana around your nose and mouth.

2.) Turn off all fans - you do not want this spray in your eyes!!!

3.) Spray the bottom of EVERY leaf - starting with the bottom leaves first, work up to the top.

4.) After the bottoms are done, hit the tops and the stems.

5.) Squirt liberally in new leaf pods - tightly wound new leaf growth (the small mites hide there).

6.) Get the heck out of the room till it clears.

7.) Repeat procedure with each plant.

8.) Spray the soil, the pots, and the floor or earth around the area to kill dropping mites and stop migration.

9.) Wash hands with soap and water when complete - the stuff will heat-up skin for 4 hours.

10.) DO NOT WORRY. Though the stuff is lethal to mites, the plants love it.
