Pest : Spider MitesSpider mitesare small , 8 legged , spider - corresponding tool which boom in hot , ironic stipulation ( like heated mansion ) . Spider soupcon feed with piercing oral fissure parts , which make works to seem yellow and stippled . Leaf drop and plant end can hap with heavy infestations . wanderer mites can multiply quickly , as a female can lay up to 200 ballock in a life span of 30 days .
