QuestionAfter moving my cacti outdoors for the summer, I noticed that there is a spider-web looking material on a couple of them and it looks like they have been eaten away in places. Would this be a spider mite infestation? If so, what product can you recommend to use on cacti to kill them but keeping the cactus healthy and looking nice?
AnswerDear Marika,
It could be a spider mites. If it is, I would use a "natural" control method so that the plant does not have further damage. The following website has some good control methods, please check it out.
