CYCLAMEN MITE

These insects look like a film of dust on the underside of leaves. Plants that are most susceptible are cyclamen, impatiens, pelargonium and saintpaulia. When infected plants are stunted; leaves are curled at edges, stems twisted and flower buds may wither. This pest flourishes in humid conditions. Spraying is generally not effective - destroy infested leaves.
