i have, what I think are soil mites. I have a banana plant in a pot outside that was planted as a mature corm, cut to a few inches above ground. Shortly after planting we got a LOT of rain. Now the banana is popping new leaves nicely, but the old pstem does have some rot on it. Today I noticed tiny little whitish, spidery looking things (technical terms there) on the soil and areas of rot. They did not appear to be on the new growth, I will look again tomorrow.
Some searching shows me they could be beneficial soil mites. Or...they could be bad spider mites. Sorry, I could not get a good picture. I will try to cut away any rot, but should I spray something to deal with the mites? Leave them be?
