Cynthia,

Most of my adeniums that I have in my greenhouse also have spiders on them. They are little grey and white jumping spiders. I leave mine too as I know they are keeping aphids and spider mites away but I'm terrified of spider. I will get photos.

LL - your post made me laugh because spiders give me the willies, too. I've trained myself to appreciate them but I prefer it to be from afar :)

Today I noticed that one of my seedlings has a tiny spider living on it. Definitely a spider, not a mite. I think they know we're scared of them so they gravitate to us!

Mine has spiders as well along with most or my flowering plants always wondered if they were ok ask well

Spider mites are keeping my plants unhealthy and that's why I don't have any flowers to show. Ha ha

And I don't know what to do ...

A friend of mine that has worked at a nursery for a couple of decades just told me about Orange Guard. I'm going to try this when I finally get home.

Please post how it works Kirk. I wonder if it'll make all the leaves drop like most sprays. I'm always afraid to try anything besides rubbing alcohol.

Will do. I think this evening I'll be getting it. I'm going to test it on one of my regular plain pinks that's going to be root stock for future grafting. On my grafted that's about that is budding I'm just going to knock them off with bursts of water and hope the blooms were not affected by these nemesis.
