Purchased from an unspecified American vendor, these popular clones (Rifat, Bumblebee and Pink Indo) showed signs of mite damage upon receipt, but without the knowledge needed to identify the problem, the infestation grew and the damage spread to other plants. Remember that clones are cuttings of other people's plants, and in the kratom world they are generally produced from a long chain of cloning succession, meaning they may have changed hands literally hundreds of times throughout the multi-generational lifetime of the cultivar. There is no saying how many different kinds of bugs could be on one, presently and historically. Always use a scope when inspecting new plants. Treat preventatively with insecticidal soap for organic gardeners. Clones are at particularly high risk for inherited infestations.
