Also, spider mites hate humidity. Anyway to increase humidity?

Moved the humidifier right next to the catasetinae yesterday.

Thanks for the tip about Bayer 3-in-1, I have it in my garage. I think I'll use it on the affected plant.

How much of travelers are spider mites? I think there is a decent chance its isolated to this one plant. I haven't seen any all winter on other plants after I cut the leaves and nuked the bulbs. I have quite a few further along than this one with perfect leaves.

In my collection, I usually get one or two plants infected each year. Not sure if they don’t travel much or if I nuke em before they spread.

Rbarata is correct about having the mites gaining resistance to one pesticide. If your infection goes beyond 3 applications, you might consider mixing in another pesticide. Mine typically disappear in a few applications.
