    Low light, low steady water. Got worse when I moved them to the shady porch. Spider mites? Aphids?

  3. The webs are visible. Definitely spider mites. My advice is toss it. Mites are tricky without systemic insecticides.

    definitely spider mites! looks to be a pretty bad infestation so it’s easiest to toss the plant, but there’s some ways to save it too. make sure to check the surrounding plants for the pests as well

    Spider mites!! Throw it away… sorry for your loss

    Super sad. I’ve been nursing these babies since spring and it’s finally getting close to time to plant them in the woods…they almost made it!
