Spider Mites on Indoor Daylilies: Control Options for Houseplants

Spider mites cause stippled, twisted leaves on daylilies overwintered indoors. Insecticidal soap helps but may not suffice for heavy infestations.

Escalation

• Start with insecticidal soap, thorough coverage, repeat weekly.
• For large collections, consider miticides like Avid® (abamectin).
• Move plants outdoors when temperatures allow—natural predators and UV reduce mites.

See "Houseplant Insect Control" for detailed protocols.
