When they come up to eat the epidermis coated with Neem that will make a difference. Where did you purchase this plant? The leaf miners could have come from their nursery.and you could just be reporting this condition for their benefit? Leaf Miners have a small window of disturbance. I would not worry about them myself. I doubt they will remain a problem. | |

| Aug 13, 2019 at 6:12 | comment | added | abhi4eternity | Sorry I was out for a while. Thanks for all your help. I just wanted to test effectiveness of Neem Oil Extract on the larvae, but nothing happened. Now my basil plants seems to be affected as well with leaves all curled up and leaves eaten away. While i saw just one small white line and a few dots. So I am not really sure. Good to know you are well versed with area :). I have quarantined the plan but don't feel like discarding it. Once again thanks a lot for your answers and suggestions. | |

Leaf miners are never a disaster for plants just aesthetic. Still haven't tried to up load this pictures... | |

| Aug 10, 2019 at 22:05 | comment | added | stormy | You did this in a Petri dish??? I love you!! Leaf miners are already in your environment or this plant already had them before you brought it home. Love it that you tested this in a petri dish. You ARE a gardener. Grins!! Under a roof yet out of doors is great for plants. If you want to grow veggies or have lots of flowers, not so much. I love foliage. I have two greenhouses a grow room but NOTHING gets planted in the environment I live in OUT OF DOORS. Sad | |

| Aug 9, 2019 at 20:39 | comment | added | abhi4eternity | Thanks @stormy. These mums were outdoors but not at a place they'd receive any direct sunlight. The soil is only Miracle Grow nothing else has been added to the soil. I have been spraying neem always in the night and I will try spraying the undersides as well. As a quirk i sprayed the neem directly on the larvae and observed if they died, but nothing happend and they were still moving around in my petri dish after a long time. Can this problem spread to other plants ? Shall i quarantine this plan ? | |
