Mites - beginner in urgent need of advice

[bethmarie]

I found evidence on a few more plants of possible mite damage. I want to do something now to keep them from spreading to more plants and doing more damage. I did some reading on the board and elsewhere about mites and came back with a question or two. I'm going to try sucrashield, but it'll be days or a week before I have that. In the meantime, can I do what someone else suggested and submerge my plants in clean water for an hour without damaging or drowning the plants? I'm pretty concerned about the rest of my plants becoming infested.
