This is a good argument for not growing them in the Fig. 9a—Red spider mites are about the size of a pin head Cyclamen mites are also troublesome on some house plants, especial- lv African violet, geranium, and some of the begonias. The signs of their presence are usually curled leaves, extreme hairiness on the young- er leaves of the African violet, and deformed younger leaves and shoots on begonia and geranium. Commercially, cyclamen mite may be con- trolled by fumigants. but under house conditions our best bet is to pre- vent spread from infested to healthy plants. This spread is accomplished by handling or by contact of the two plants. As plants seldom outgrow the iniury or damage from cyclamen mite, it is best to discard any plants that become infested and start over with.
