My decade old standard trailing fuchsia became badly infected with gall mites last summer (2021). I applied the biological control, but as I didn’t identify the cause of the misshapen growth until late in the season, the control had little impact. The fuchsia was left protected, but outside all winter because I couldn’t put it in the greenhouse with uninflected plants. To my amazement it survived, though all the ‘head’ was dead. The head was cut back to the stem and began to sprout new growth. I immediately ordered 5 sachets of control mites. About three weeks later I ordered 5 more. At present, June 9th, there is some misshapen growth. Time will tell if the control mites can overcome the infecting mites. Things look reasonable so far, considering the severe infection last year. I’ll be ordering 5 more sachets in about a month. I live in hope that I can save my beloved standard fuchsia! Without the control mites it would have been cremated. Unfortunately there is no place here to leave a photo of my plant.

I was so upset to see the fuchsias my late mum had cultivated and planted for me had developed FGM and I was sceptical that this would work. I’m so happy to say they DO work. All 3 large plants too are now healthy and happy too!

My fuschia were lookiNg very sad and then I read about Gall Mite Sachets. Having used them my fuschia are clear of the pest and thriving well. Highly recommend this treatment

Thanks for the excellent service, at the moment it seems to be working on some of the fuchsia plants but we had a bad infestation last year and think we will need to purchase more at a later date our current sachets still have another 2 weeks to go so perhaps we will get the pesky mites.

Found Green Gardeners details on the RHS website and it recommended these sachets that they sell. So far so good and having removed the damaged growth the new growth seems very healthy. Thanks

Used last year and the same plants which suffered from fascinations the previous year did not, so pleased to add them again.

Hoping these work…as had infestation of gall mites. Too early to say if they are doing the job but the service was prompt.
