Spider Mites on Ginger

sharvil6
13 years ago

Alright so i have a ginger plant in a pot sitting on my front porch (Michigan)

Its done really well and is quite large

But about 2 weeks ago i noticed the leaves had the spots and webbing that told me my ginger plant had spider mites. So i did some research and found misting the plant with water would help. So misted it once a day for a few days and it seemed to help. But then i stopped for one day and the webbing was back.

So then i switched and started to mist it with 1 part rubbing alcohol and 1 part water. Which, same story, started out helping but didn't last.

I don't really want to BUY any insecticides or nything...

any ideas???
