Phytoseiulus persimilis is the gold standard for eradicating Spider Mites in high humidity environments (above 60% RH). Unlike generalist mites that eat pollen or debris, Persimilis is an "obligate predator," meaning it feeds exclusively on Two-Spotted Spider Mites. It is widely known as the "shock trooper" of biological control because of its speed and voracious appetite. These bright orange, fast-moving hunters can consume up to 35 pest eggs or 7 adults per day. If you have an active outbreak with webbing, this is your best option for rapid knockdown.

  • Scientific Name: Phytoseiulus persimilis

  • Best For: Rapid eradication of Two-Spotted Spider Mites (Tetranychus urticae).

  • Safe For: Plants, humans, and pets.

  • Key Feature: The fastest reproduction rate of any predatory mite—it can multiply faster than the spider mites it eats.

  • Environment Requirement: Must have sustained humidity above 60% to thrive. Please use Californicus or Andersoni if your humidity fluctuates.

Testimonials

This shop has great customer service. Although they mainly sell pots they also have a few plants to sell. I bought one of these plants and it shipped very fast. The plant I received is beautiful but it was the wrong plant. I contacted the shop right away. I told them I will keep the plant but I’d still want to buy the one I wanted. The plant I wanted also cost less so I offered to pay the difference too. The shop apologized for the mistake and said they will send the right plant right away and to keep the plant i already received. I thought that was awesome, thoughtful and very professional and that goes a long way. Thank you so much and I really appreciate that.

Simply a beautiful and artistic Peety pot. Will be the pot for an Adenia metamorpha and the two will definitely display awesome artistry.
