My acer was infected with some kind of small bug that left a white web. I had to spray a poison to get ride of the bugs, but unfortunatelly the leaves suffered too much, going dry. I trimmed the plant trying to save it, and was very worry about it...
It survived!!! :)

HI Meanie,
I used a natural poison to clean it, and looking closer for some resistant.
Any suggestion is welcome.

Prevention is better than cure Aleyna. RSM hate high humidity.
I've used a garlic mix successfully - pour 1 litre of boiling water over 2 large garlic cloves. Leave for 24hours, remove the garlic, add 10ml of cooking oil and mix with an electric mixer. Spray twice daily. Give it a good shake every time before spraying.

I Just LOVE GOY!!!
Many many thanks, I'll do it.
Can I use the same mix to other plants as prevention?
big hugs

That is a remedy Aleyna. As prevention just increase the moisture around them and mist with plain water once or twice a day.
