Schoenorchis micrantha
 
We're battling mites. If there were only a spike or two, I'd sacrifice them but I've got over a dozen! Washing the leaves with the cinnamon concoction with a itty bitty paint brush.

Such pretty little sprays of flowers.

Good luck on the mites :Tup:

How elegant!
Bad mites for picking on such a tiny plant.

Cute little blooms, sorry about your mites.

Wonderful!

Nice performance given the mites. Where did you get the plant from?
Let us know how the mite battle turns out.

So, I walked away with the micrantha, finished with Andy's for the day. Or so I thought.
I'm not seeing any new damage but will remain vigilant.

Cinnamon only works on fungus, I thought? You probably can use something that is a miticide to kill the mites. Mites like it dry and warm.

I have been watching missorchidgirl on youtube lately with her trials using hairspray to get rid of mites. It seems to be working for her. Maybe this would be good on your mini, as it would get into all the tiny nooks and crannys???
