My husband has a lot of plants and I found a lot of pests on his Clerodendrum speciosissimum 'Java Glorybower.' I don't want the infestation to spread to my succulents, and I'm a nice wife, so I'm working on treating his plant for spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs - yay!
Using soap and water as the initial method of attack, I will continue treating the plant every few days until I don't see anymore pests.

I can definitely speak from experience that Neem oil will damage a plant big-time if used during the hot temps. I obliterated several of my favorite hibiscus plants one summer. The damage was so severe that most of the plants couldn't make a recovery. It even fried the thick stems. It was so bad! Neem oil is awesome, when used correctly. Just follow directions to the T.
Oof I'm sorry about your plants, and I'm just automatically assuming you're from Houston like me bc of the heat 😅
Thank you Andrea. Great advice , as always. Sorry you have to deal with these critters.
Thank you Mari! I don't mind the challenge as long as they don't find my succulents 😅 And I love a good reason to whip out the mic 😂
I hate spider mites. I lost all my plants one summer. I didn't notice them until it was too late....poor eyesight.
Ugh so sorry! Even with perfect sight they would be really difficult to see :(
