Venus Flytraps and Spider Mites - Everything You Need to Know

In this video I go through a step-by-step guide on identifying, symptoms, and treating Spider Mites in Venus Flytraps. The two pesticide products I recommend are..
Acid Miticide (smaller portion through flytrapstore):

Bioadvanced 3 in 1:

And for predatory mites..

This video is exactly what I needed💯 your videos have been tremendously helpful. Thankyou.

[@mrcroft2007]

Great tips! Glad to know it's possible to buy a small quantity of Avid.

[@topazplant]

Glad I could help

[@egreen704]

good to see you again hope to get some spring videos too

[@topazplant]

For sure. Probably a few weeks and I’ll have a spring tour out.. I want them to fill the pots a bit more

[@ScaryFear]

Great video. Thanks for the advice. I'll know what to do now if this happens to my collection.

[@topazplant]

Always good to prepare before things happen, so you can face it accordingly

Looking foward to the spring tour, btw, the 4 plants I bought from you last year, well they pulled through and are now pushing very healthy and vigorous growth

[@topazplant]

Awesome! Glad to hear and good luck with them this year.

Nice video again! I didn't have to cope with spidermites yet luckily.. but had to deal with aphids this year.. just used systematic pesticide once and I'm hoping it's done. 😎

[@topazplant]

Awesome. I don’t get aphids much luckily. They tend to be a lot more destructive, especially towards new growth

[@dzenda6]

​@@topazplantYeah they're very destructive indeed. I haven't had spidermites since I've started cultivating my CPs (6 years ago) but I've got just like 20 VF cultivars and few sundews and pitcher plants. Aphids I guess are more common in Europe than spidermites. Some growers actually spray pesticides as a prevention every spring and end of summer.

[@DeadlyPlants2024]

On one of my fly traps, I am not sure if I have spider mites, but one trap is growing deformed and a new trap that is sprouting already has a black head. Would that be spider mites?
