Another threat in the form of Spider Mites is also something very serious, which makes our plants completely lifeless.
The problem is, unlike mealybugs, these Spider mites are not visible to our naked eye, unless they are completely grown, and are found in the lower part of the leaf. We need to regularly monitor our plants, with a magnifying glass.
These spider mites are found sticking to the lower layer of the leaf, which is not visible with out a magnifying glass.

What is the solution to this problem?
As we are using all organic fertilizers, to maintain the nutritious values of our produce, the same has to be maintained by using some organic pest control measures.
Now, have you heard about Ghost Pepper ( you can see in the pic below, if not familiar with it) ?

Yes!!! Ghost pepper which is our solution to the problem of spider mites.
All you need to do is the following..
| Boiling Stage |
- First, cover your nose with a mask, and wear gloves, since the pepper is very strong and may give burning sensation.
- Take some Ghost Pepper, split it vertically,and slice .
- Now take a bowl and fill it water, and put on a slow flame, so that the water doesn't boil.
- Now add the sliced pepper, and let it heat ,not boil.
- After you see the vapour, turn off the flame.
- Now let the water come to room temperature.
- Then strain water into another bowl, and transfer into a sprayer.
- Now, it is ready to apply to your plants.
- Apply the spray from bottom to top.
- After the application, leave the plant undisturbed for one day, and clean with little force of water, so that all the dead mites drop down.
Work is not done with one spray. You need to repeat the process( spraying and cleaning) twice or thrice, unless you find no traces of mites, when you observe with a magnifying glass.
After the job is done wash hands thoroughly.
Hope, the post saves your plants from mites.
