Spider Mites on Gardenia Buds: Indoor to Outdoor Transition

Diagnosis

Webbing on gardenia buds in DC before moving outdoors indicates spider mites. Confirm: tap branch over white paper, fold, rub—red/blue/brown smears = mites.

Treatment

Apply neem oil per label. Once outdoors, blast daily with strong hose spray until controlled. Natural predators will take over. Move outside as soon as weather permits.
