What do you do if you think that you might have cyclamen or broad mites? I have noticed that in the past two weeks that the crowns of my av's are not looking normal. Crowns are turning brown and leaves are brittle and deformed. These av's are by themselves, not with my babies or some of my other av's or streps, thank goodness! I have tried to take pictures but just can't get it focused so that you can see. To close.

This is what I have done:
tossed 12 plants, pots and all in the trash, tied up in a bag
bleached the shelf
bleached all tools that I use

I am just heart broken!! These were the only ones that were blooming size. I don't know what else to do. Any hints? I just don't want them to get on the others.
