Bayer 3 and 1 on tropical ?

[Jo53ph]

Hello there I was wondering if you anyone out there has used Bayer 3 and 1 on tropical bonsai ? I use it on my outdoor trees every year and it works fine. I just noticed some spider mites on my indoor trees and I was going to make up a bucket of solution and dip the foliage on the bucket and cover the soil Beings I have mostly small trees it’s easier and more then affective then spraying them down with a sprayer.

Yes, works just fine as long as the 3n1 your using is the one that has "and mite control" on it. Bayer makes like 3 or 4 of these 3n1 mixes.

Overkill?
Why do you think you need it on you tropicals?.....something specific?

Edit....sorry, mites.....hmm, soap?

I use it on all my trops before they have to come in for the winter, so they don't bring anything in with them.

Ok thanks yea I’ve been using insect killing soap and I still seem to find some a week or so after I spray

You use it as a spray on the foliage?

Yes

If the active ingredient is Imidacloprid, it won't work for mites and can make infestations worse

Also, the chemical can transfer to pollen and kill bees and butterflies that are attracted to any flowers

EDIT:
Just saw your label says it's good for mites, it's probably fine.
