Indoor Dwarf Meyer Lemon Spider Mites: Neem Oil as Miticide Solution

Problem

Linda (Arkansas): dwarf Meyer lemon indoors since April, lost most leaves, webs present. Suspects spider mites, needs chemical recommendation.

Solution: Neem Oil as Miticide

Pure Neem Oil (Dyna-Gro) — Kathy's universal indoor citrus solution
Miticidal property specifically addresses spider mites
Non-washing, builds protection
Fungicide + insecticide + miticide in one
Organic, safe for indoor use

Spider Mite Context

Webs = classic sign
Leaf loss = severe infestation
Indoor winter = ideal mite conditions (dry air, no predators)
Neem oil disrupts feeding and reproduction

Single product addresses mites, potential fungal issues, and any other pests simultaneously.
