One of the pests that requires particular attention when growing Adenium is the spider mite.

At Matsutakeen, we have struggled considerably with spider mites during the summer months.

We prepared multiple pesticides for spider mites and rotated their use, considering resistance levels. Even so, maintaining a clean condition for extended periods before sale was not easy.

Therefore, Matsutakeen changed the summer management environment for Adeniums.

By switching from indoor to outdoor management, we significantly reduced spider mite damage in our environment.

This time, we will discuss in detail, based on our real-world experience at Matsutakeen, the following:

・Environments where spider mites thrive

・How to identify spider mite damage

・Why we struggled even with pesticide rotation

・Changes observed after switching from greenhouse to outdoor management

・How to deal with spider mites found at home

・The importance of considering the "cultivation environment" as well as pesticides


Of course, this does not mean that "spider mites will disappear just by putting them outdoors."

The important thing is not just to find and eliminate spider mites, but also to consider "why are spider mites thriving in the current environment?"
