theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted March 18, 2016 I'd say mites mate. Either way give it a good toothbrush with some alcohol. That's all I do but I'm sure others more ideas 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loves2cacti Posted March 18, 2016 Are mites microscopic? Because there's nothing moving at all and this guy lives inside. You scrub them with isopropyl-OH ? Does it dehydrate the skin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loves2cacti Posted March 18, 2016 Years ago I had spider mites on a different strain of medicinal plant, but there would be web evidence everywhere. There are no webs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted March 19, 2016 was gna say aye.. looks like spidermite scarring .. dont scrub .. it will tear .. just gently gently ...when applying the sulphur and alcohol ( i use IPA handwash gel which is easier to manipulate with the brush .. then I blow controlled clouds of sulphur over the alcohol I applied to form a sort of dusting layer) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bardo Posted March 19, 2016 Jet blasting them with a water spray bottle works for mites, and it seems watering plants from the top also helps to keep them away : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted March 19, 2016 Yeah you'd be hard pressed seeing them by eye. They appear different on cacti than they do plants, no webs usually. If it's inside is def say mites are your major concern Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
