I checked half a dozen plants for mites with a sheet of white paper and I only found one live critter that looked like a mite. The plants are due for spinosad and fertilizer anyway so I guess I will give them some, but I was hoping someone might be able to recognize the symptoms.
I have about 10 others that seem to be fine as of now, except that the Dr. Feelgood plants all have tiny yellow spots on the leaves that appeared while I was in hospital.
If the spinosad and fert does not help, I might try neem or some other oil.
Should I be worried about fungus? I'm growing in Southern Cali and it hasn't rained in at least a couple weeks but the wind has been fierce at times, blowing a truckload of palm fronds out of a tree onto my front lawn.
