not spidermites, but I think something else might be killing it (tripes?). I seen some tiny (micro) bugs crawling on it (NOT aphids or spidermites, I've seen those) They were somewhat long like a centipede but micro like I said and white. I'm going to do some more research on these bugs and see what I can come up with. PRAY 4 MOJO! I'll take my triplet to see what I can find. any other feedback will be greatly appreciated.
