for plants such as orchids or other houseplants who prefer to be out of direct sunlightI also have an issue with red spider mite. Can this be reduced by misting and perhaps keeping a bowl of water to increase humidity? Any advice greatfully received. Hello by mummycrafts

Poppy help please.
and apart from a couple of black spider like creatures I cannot see anything which would appear to have caused this much damage.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to the cause? Thanks My mum had a similar problem with tulips - just as they were coming by BJ
