Cyclamen mites are most destructive. The center of an infected plant takes on an 
abnormal appearance and changes to a different color, usually grey. It becomes rough in 
appearance and young foliage is misshaped. Mite spreads to all the plants and effective 
measures must be at once applied. An effective measure is to immerse entire plant and 
pot in water at 110° for 15 min. Keep water at this temp., adding more hot water. Wash 
shelves and pot saucers with ammonia solution. Repeat the treatment one month and 
again two months later. : Bre 
We offer Hexotine under Garden Supplies. Used according to directions this spray 
is an effective control of mite. Several sprayings at 7 to 10 day intervals will be needed. 
It may cause temporary loss of flowers. The spray must be used at once when mixed. 
Prepare only enough for 15 minutes use. Plants may be dipped in solution of 2 teaspoons- 
fuls to one gallon of water. 
Sodium selenate will keep plants free of all insects. It is a dangerous poison. Dis- 
carded soil must not be placed in a vegetable garden or under a fruit tree as it may thus 
poison those who eat the fruits or vegetables. The method of use is described in the 
African Violet books which we list. Read them both on this topic. Space does not permit 
a full discussion here for this or some of the less destructive pests and diseases.
