woopwoop Posted August 4, 2019 Has anyone here used the Tobacco Spray for their cacti? did it damage your cactus? What method did you use to make it (theres a few different recipes)? Was it effective (apparently its the most effective pesticide there is) I think I wanna use it for some spider mites, but I don't know if its a good idea because of this so called tobacco mosaic virus (I can't find a definite answer if cacti can be affected by it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strontium Dawg Posted August 5, 2019 Spider mites will not be phased by tobacco pesticide most likely. Get some wettable sulfur onto them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woopwoop Posted August 5, 2019 damn, spider mites are fucking crazy! I'm actually thinking about getting some beneficial insects, there are some predatory mites that feed on them, I'm thinking of spreading them around my entire property as well as directly on the cacti (doubt they'll stick around the cacti for too long, coz they aren't like normal plants, but hopefully they can eradicate them from wherever the fuck they are coming from). coz this is fucking annoying.
