Says its designed for spidermites on fruit/vegetables so we shall see. Keeping my fingers crossed that this wipes them out so i can flip it to flower and get this grow over with.

When i was powdering the plant i got preoccupied with my spouse, and forgot to dust off the leaves so the old ones are a bit white Sighhhh this has been a funny ass grow. The new growth is coming on well and no signs of any critters

Think i would hose the plant down, not only will take the powder off of the leaves any spider mites will also get knocked off. Then once dry i would spray something containing Plant oils and extracts i have found these very effective against mites.
Plant oils and extracts
Refined plant oils, such as those derived from rape seed and sunflower, which block the breathing pores
(spiracles) of small insects and mites, including aphids, whitefly, thrips, mealybugs, scale insects and
red spider mite. Bees and ladybirds are less likely to be harmed. No harvest interval required but do not
use on fuchsia or begonia.
Natural pyrethrum/pyrethrins can be to strong for canna i have found and i have seen others find this out the hard way to.
Guess this why they say spray a part of your plant and leave for a week to see if there is any adverse reaction before spraying the whole plant. Mites do not like it damp and cold making your groom damper and cooler will slow them down. This gives you a better chance of killing them. Remember one treatment will not do it your need to treat multiple times.
