Spider Mites on PrimeAgra
 

I had a plant growing in s/h and it was infested with spider mites. I don't have the plant anymore, but is there a way I can kill off the mites so I can reuse the PrimeAgra?

Thanks for the advice!

Bake them in the oven. That should do it.

I boil my leca for 10-20 minutes each time I repot and put it back in the bucket I keep it in.

I think I will give baking them a try. I don't have a spare pot to use for boiling PrimeAgra at the moment. Is 350 degrees for 10 minutes good?

350 degrees for 10 minutes will not sterlize, you would have to leave it in for at least an hour.

Do I need to wet the PrimeAgra first before throwing it in? How do I keep it from burning out?

It's clay, and has been fired in a kiln at much higher temps than your oven can reach. Just cook the H#%* out of it. ;)

Good point. Thanks! :D
