      I know i can google it, but i thought to ask someone who experienced in real life.

      Thanks for your reply anyway!

        And the people who would post this information that Google would search for, they would have no “real life experience”?

        Let me get this straight. You signed up today, to an Australian bargain hunting website, for the sole purpose of seeking a remedy for spider mites, because you expected to find someone with real life experience with spider mites here. Rather than say, a gardening website forum. Ok.

          To be fair he has specifically directed his question to Ali.
          I'm sure Ali will be along soon with an answer to his mitey problem?

    Eco oil. Bunnings.

      Thanks, some suggested to buy some lady bugs and let nature takes it turn!

        One of two things happen.

        Bugs leave immediately.

        Bugs die.

        If the lady bugs were going to stay, they'd already be there.

          Very good point, never thought of that!

          I have tried eco oil before but didn't work and specially now with this weather, it won't help!

      too expensive, just make your own white oil out of vegetable oil + detergent

    Have you got any pics? it's more likely issues like sunlight/water etc causing non-flowering issues, how long have you had them?

      They're new. They don't know the MSPaint diagram requirements we have here.

      • tryagain on 06/11/2019 - 12:44

        Are we talking about yours or Abdull's plants now, as far as I can see they don't mention how long they have had them?

    gardenias only flower at certain times of the year. my hedge is in full bloom right now and looks and smells fantastic!

    • BOGOF on 06/11/2019 - 14:29

    • nfr on 06/11/2019 - 16:14

      @mtg My avatar pic approves of your username.

      Agree, they are nice and smells amazing however the Gardenias lollipop should continuously flower during the year.

      • tryagain on 08/11/2019 - 10:33

        I think you might have been misled on this point, not 100% sure of the exact plant you have but I'd be pretty certain that this isn't the case.
