The aphids on the rose I would strip off with my fingers.
This works very well. I have not seen mites on my roses. . .

water, water, water. . .
The mites hated water.
If possible, spray the plant vigorously (Bath or garden).
And then lightly mist each day.
Maybe then you do not need chemistry.
Good luck

Re: Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln
Good evening dear cacti friends,
Another forum discussed whether big cacti thrive in purely mineral substrates?
I think all cacti and almost all succulents grow very well in pure mineral substrate.
In some hot areas, Tucson Az.
, it can be convenient to add water-binding supplements.
But not because of the plants, because of the gardeners. . .

Stand under the table. She was not well, bought her.
Due to the bad treatment she has a growth disorder.
That makes a slim waistline. . . ( You should not dream about it, rounder is more beautiful.

Re: Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln
I'm really happy to know I'm not the only one buying all the broken plants!
Your plant's waistline is beautiful because it shows what a difference some tlc can make.
There I'm even poetic tonight![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
