    Did this work? Did you have to apply the DE again? Just found your channel and subbed!

      Thanks for watching! Yes it did. I would suggest you watch out as the DE can be a little messy

    Do you just leave the powder on? Does it interfere with the plant's ability to get light?

      After applying the powder, I gave the plant a little shake so there was only a thin layer on the leaves

    I’m dealing with spider mites and I have put a my infected plants in a greenhouse and drowned them with DE. How long did you leave it on ur own plant for?? I have no idea how long to leave them in there like that..

      I left mine on for about a month, however it was a light dusting that still allowed light to reach the plant. How long have you had yours on for?

      @@RootsReady I just put it on them on Saturday. I am so tired of these spider mites 😂😂😂 I have tried all sprays and nothing really works well for me. Turned to DE. I will leave them in there for a month.
