Milts & Mites

[orchidsarefun]

a cautionary tale.....
my milts starting visibly going downhill and THEN I noticed mites, seemingly by the millions. I have drench sprayed the leaves with a 50/50 mixture of water and 70% isopropyl alcohol, mixed with a few drops of dish detergent.
I should have done this before as a preventive measure, so be advised.
They were doing fine and then....BAM, overwhelmed by a mite attack.
I am still feeling good from the alcohol fumes though
