Indoor plant question...?

I have two medium plants in my house, they have a a look-like cobweb. It is not made from a spider!...it looks like if it is a "fungus" or something like that.



Sorry if im not explaining very well but i really don't know what it is....PLEASE! help me if you know what it is!

Indoor plant question...?
Sounds like Spider mites...even better and you not knowing..just to be on the safe side of things...place your plants in the bath tub, get a spray bottle and put water half of bottle and 4 drops of dish detergent(make sure its one without bleach) into spray bottle with water shake bottle and give your plants a good spray..make sure you get underneath the leaves...and over the potting soil too...let it sit...for about 5 minutes..and spray again....let sit for 5 more minutes..then spray your plant with fresh water.

this should solve the problem.......

spider mites can also spread to your other house plants...they are deadly to your plants too....

hope this helps with your plants!
Reply:Indian meal moths which are pantry pests make silky looking little webs and get into flour, cereals, and meal type foods. Here is a site Master Gardeners use--on the little meal moth and ways to get eradicate it. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES...
Reply:sorry, its hard to tell from just a description. I would take one into the local home gardening place, like Agway or something.



If you dont have anything like that where you are, maybe try a DIY hardware store, sometimes the people out in the garden center are somewhat knowledgeable.
Reply:no that is good you need to get some galic cloves and break them apart and stick them in the soil this will run off anything living in the soil and toss a worm or two in the pot
Reply:It could be spider mites which are almost too small to see. They are a common pest even in greenhouses. Check the underside of leaves for tiny red dots. Washing the plant with a forceful spray can help control them. Also insecticidal soap is a mild, nontoxic control. If thatose fail, you may need a pesticide that is effective on mites.

Reply:wipe it off with a solution of

1 cup alcohol

1 tsp liquid soap

1gallon water

rinse the plants when you are through

no matter what it is it needs to come off of the plants.
