Petroleum 30 C
Infestation of spider mites and whitefly on young lemon and mandarin trees, as
well as almonds and figs
The young trees of Ms M are overwintered in a cool, light place. Here they
regularly become infested with spider mites and whitefly in February or March.
This year they were treated daily with
Petroleum
30 C (12 pellets in 5 liters water), sprayed and watered. Improvement was seen
after 3 days, and after one week the pests had disappeared. The pots were later
returned to the balcony where they suffered no further infestation.
Petroleum 30 C: Spider mites on greenhouse cucumbers
Ms S. had sixcucumbers in her greenhouse this year. She planted
them, pre-grown in pots, at the end of April . By May she already had her first
cucumbers. As every year, they developed well until they were affected by spider
mites in June.
The affected leaves had yellow spots, caused by the
sucking action of the pests, which later became larger, until finally the entire
leaf dried out and turned brown.
In previous years, Ms S. had used beneficial
organisms (green lacewings). This somewhat reduced the infestation but without
completely eliminating it.
This year Ms S. treated the cucumbers with a
mixture of Petroleum
30 C and Psorinum
200 C, which she applied to the plants every 4 to 5 days, watering and
spraying a total of 3 applications. read

The spider mite infestation improved a little but then
returned strongly again. At this stage the cucumber plants looked distinctly
unwell.
At the beginning of August, she tried Amblyseius
6 X, which is a homeopathic preparation from Gamasina mites.
She
removed the old affected leaves and watered the cucumbers 2x per week with 10 ml
of remedy solution in 10 litres of water.
To her astonishment, the cucumbers
developed new shoots, with healthy leaves and fruit, right through to the end of
September – completely free of spider mites. In previous years the cucumber
plants were finshed already in August. (Edda S., Schwaigern 2013) 
Petroleum: Eradication of Spider Mites on Hibiscus
"I had great success treating a hibiscus (house plant, not frost-hardy) with Petroleum 30 C. The plant reacted immediately – by the next day (!) it had started to differentiate between diseased leaves, which it discarded, and healthy “to be kept” leaves. The plant's vitality increased straight away. The colour changed within a few days, with more green leaves visible. After repotting as an additional measure, it is now putting out new shoots.
For me this is clearly a success application of your homeopathic remedy. Normally I have to take immediate and firm counter-measures in cases of spider mite infestation (which hibiscus is sadly prone to), either by carefully wiping the leaves by hand or by using an insecticide. Inaction leads to the most severe infestation with total loss of leaves."
Initial condition on 8th April :
Condition on 10th April (second day after homeopathic treatment) : 
Current condition (6th May) – it was repotted just before Easter

Psorinum 200 C Spider mites on blackberries:
Blackberry plant is wasting and has pale
leaves. After a single treatment (spraying and watering) with Psorinum 200 C,
it recovered and is producing new leaves that are not infested.
Blackberries, planted in spring, good growth, but then
growth stopped, and they became infested with spider mites.
Treated on June 25 with
Psorinum 200 C (sprayed and watered)
Today (July 7) there are no further signs (except that
the leaves remain pale) and the plant is once again continuing to grow. The silver on the edge of the
leaves is just the hairs of the blackberry.
